May 26, 2009 08:26 AM
The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena (Calif.) Airport Authority, owner and operator of Bob Hope Airport, said has retained Ricondo and Associates for a fee of $94,450 to undertake the initial environmental review of a proposed regional intermodal transit center at the airport that would provide access at a single point for air transport, Amtrak, Metrolink rail, buses, and rental cars to converge.
An elevated and covered moving sidewalk would convey arriving and departing passengers between the airport terminal and the transit center, facilitating immediate access to the terminal without using shuttle buses.
In addition, the project includes the construction of a publicly accessible compressed natural gas facility to supply CNG to airport shuttle buses and CNG-powered private automobiles.
