Parking Garages A and B Improvement Project

A $3.8 million maintenance project to rehabilitate and repair two of three parking garages is underway at Will Rogers World Airport.  The project will make improvements to garages A and B:
• Garage A is the two-story garage.  The upper level provides hourly parking for the airport’s short-term visitors.  The lower level services the “ready-return” spaces for the rental car agencies.
• Parking Garage B, adjacent to A, is the older of the two, five-level parking structures and provides covered parking for air travelers.  Garage C, the new parking garage which opened in 2009, will not be impacted.

WRWA CHOSEN FOR PILOT PROGRAM TO CREATE A NATIONAL ELECTRONIC AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN

The A-GIS project is an initiative of the FAA to create a nationwide electronic Airport Layout Plan (ALP) using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology.  Will Rogers World Airport is one of five airports chosen for the pilot project phase of this initiative.  The project consists of three parts: (1) obtaining high resolution aerial photography of the airport; (2) performing an accurate, detailed survey of the airport; and (3) digitizing all relevant airport features along with inputting attributes to describe the features.  The exact procedures needed to complete these phases are defined by FAA Advisory Circulars, AC 150/5300-16, -17, and -18.
