Tf Green Airport History

[Stetson Saenz]

SacRTis currently revising draft environmental documents for the project, but final environmental impact documents must be completed, and further progress is dependent on securing a matching local funding source that will allow SacRT to enter into the federal capital investment grant program for the remaining funding. With the passage of the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and potential new local funding, SacRT has an opportunity to advance this project and improve local mobility throughout the county.

The Green Line to the River District light rail train currently operates Monday through Friday between the 13th Street light rail station and the 7th & Richards/Township 9 light rail station. Learn more about the Green Line to the River District.

If you are interested in improvements to public transportation in the Natomas communities, or if you have questions about how public transportation might affect your home, neighborhood or business, SacRT encourages your input and participation in the Green Line to the Airport project. SacRT wants to encourage local communities and stakeholders to become and stay involved and informed at all stages of planning and implementation. Email the project team at greenlin...@sacrt.com.

On March 3, 1943, the Del Valle Airfield was officially renamed the Bergstrom Army Airfield. When the Air Force split from the Army to become its own military branch in 1948, the base was renamed Bergstrom Air Force base. It would have this name until it was decommissioned in the early 1990s, with all military aviation ceasing in 1995, after more than 50 years of faithful service.

Eight miles from the Capitol was Bergstrom Air Force Base, slated for closure in 1990 by order of Congress, still a fully operational military facility. When the Base Realignment and Closure Commission finally decided to decommission it, the land was returned to the City of Austin. In May 1999, Robert Mueller Municipal Airport was closed and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport opened May 23, 1999. ABIA was the first airport be built under the Base Realignment and Closure Commission. What might have been an economic blow, not to mention the ongoing problem of caring for an abandoned military facility, had been averted. As Mayor Kirk Watson said at the time, "Austin turned lemons into lemonade."

LBJ, a colorful character, frequently visited his Johnson City ranch by landing at Bergstrom. Before his visits, base personnel would paint all the dead grass green visible from the runway and Presidential Boulevard.

Throughout three decades in Washington, he never lost touch with the home folks, returning to Austin weekly, and during political campaigns - which he loved - two or three times a week. Because of the frequency with which Jake traveled, whichever airline he flew was dubbed "the Pickle Special.

As an elected official Barbara Jordan accomplished many firsts. She was the first African American to serve in the Texas Senate since Reconstruction (1966-72), and the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Congress from the South (1972-78), and the first woman to deliver the keynote address at a national party convention (Democratic Convention 1976, and again in 1992).

Her riveting Watergate testimony in 1974 inspired America's attention to the strength and foundation of the Constitution of the United States of America. Many Austinites remember her fondly as an educator at The University of Texas at Austin/LBJ School of Public Affairs (1979-96) and, respectfully as Governor Ann Richards' counsel on ethics. Many also remember well the way she captivated listeners with her powerful voice, oratorical skills, and her ability to clarify complex moral issues of the day.

The first life-sized statue of the late Barbara Jordan resides in the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Created by California artist Bruce Wolfe, the bronze sculpture depicts Jordan seated, in deep thought, with her fingertips pressed together; her glasses and a book placed in her lap.

Leadership (LD): The Green Build project provided extensive leadership and commitment. The San Diego International Airport became the first major airport in the United States to publish an annual sustainability report based on the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The airport also assisted in the development of the ACI-NA four elements of the aviation industry to serve as core projects for a holistic approach to airport sustainability, which included economic viability, operational excellence, natural resource conservation, and social responsibility. The Green Build team also provided a written commitment to address the economic, environmental and social aspects of the project at each stage, with a presentation provided at a stakeholder chartering session.

Natural World (NW): The Green Build project preserved greenfields by building on a previously developed site, which was a former burn dump and landfill, historically operated by the U.S. Navy at the San Diego Naval Training Center. The airport remediated the former landfill area to allow the Green Build project to begin. The project was designed to only include native landscaping, which requires minimal use of pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. When pesticides and fertilizers are required, only those with low toxicity, persistence and bioavailability are used.

In addition, the project uses stormwater best management practices to protect surface water and ground water, with a scope that covers detecting and responding to spills and leaks, and providing ongoing monitoring of water quality. Annual groundwater monitoring events take place at and around the former landfill project on the Green Build property, as part of a long term monitoring program.

The new green airport was opened in December 2012. It is one of the only two airports serving the archipelago. It is operated by ECOGAL, a subsidiary of Corporacin Amrica, which operates 53 airports in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The airport, earlier known as Seymour Island Airfield, was used by the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) to secure the South American coastline and the Panama Canal from Japanese submarines during World War II. First US troops arrived at the airport in April 1942.

The base was handed over to the Ecuadorian government after the end of World War II in 1948. The base infrastructure that remained at the location was used for the commercial aviation activities that began in 1963.

The Ecuadorian Government opened an international bidding for the construction, operation and management of the Seymour Airport in July 2008. Corporacin Amrica was preferred for the development of the $35m airport project. ECOGAL was awarded a 15-year concession by the government of Ecuador in April 2011 to operate the airport.

The construction was divided into three phases. The first phase involved the construction of the new terminal structure, an air traffic control tower (ATCT) and a technical block. The demolition of the old terminal, expansion of the aircraft platform, renovation of the fire station block, and relocation of existing hangars and the cargo terminal were carried out during the second phase. The final phase involved the runway reconstruction.

The new terminal was built using the recycled steel tubes recovered from oil drilling activities in the Amazon region. The terminal, which covers an area of 6,000m2, was completed at a cost of more than $24m.

The VIP lounges in the Galapagos Ecological Airport are operated by Vip Airport Club, which offers exclusive services to more than 50 airports across the world. The lounges offer pleasant and sustainable environment, personalised assistance, internet access, free and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, as well as a wide range of cocktails, wines and specialty dishes.

The new terminal building uses green technologies such as solar and wind power, as well as seawater desalination to achieve energy savings. Approximately 75% of the materials from the old terminal were reused by the new building. The airport employs a number of measures to reduce the energy consumption by approximately 40%.
