Development of Access and Circulation Roadways for San Francisco International Airport
This paper describes the development of the access and circulation roadways serving the new International Terminal Building and other master plan projects (e.g., the consolidated rental car and employee parking structures) at San Francisco International Airport. Developing the roadway concept was particularly challenging due to (1) the proximity of the International Terminal Building to the adjacent freeway (U.S. Highway 101) and the resulting constraints on inbound and outbound passenger wayfinding/decision-making, and (2) the requirement to maintain access to the existing terminal buildings and central parking garage during construction of the roadway network. The paper describes the process used to estimate future roadway traffic requirements and to translate these requirements into roadway concepts. Over time, the concepts evolved from those originally presented in the master plan, and incorporated improvements in traffic operations, passenger wayfinding, and roadway capacity. The concepts responded to changing objectives concerning vistas provided approaching motorists, circulation and geometric constraints, and construction costs and challenges. The City and County of San Francisco Airport Commission used the results of the study to guide the detailed design and construction of the roadways serving the new International and domestic terminals, two parking structures, and three interchanges on the freeway serving the Airport.
