Dennis Levene
History 1939 Opened for
commercial traffic Runways 4-22 and 13-

“Perimeter Rule” 52% Regional Jet Mix 2012 25.7 Million PAX Consistently Rated One

Airfield Constrains
Current Layout
CTB Landside Deficiencies
Roadways create conflict between pedestrian and vehicle
Existing roadways are congested
Insufficient curb frontage impedes passenger pick-up and drop-off
Terminal Deficiencies Long lines at ticket
areas Security areas too
small Insufficient number
of concessions past security
Gate hold areas cannot accommodate future demand
Airside Deficiencies
Gate position cannot accommodate modern aircraft fleet Taxilanes are small and narrow Minimal start-up positions Numerous tow-in gates

Forecasted: 34 Million LGA PAX (Current ~ 25.7)17.5 Million CTB PAX Served by CTB by 2030 (Current ~13 million)
Terminal Options
New CTB 38 gates and 1.4 Million ft2 (40%
increase)
Financing•Passenger Facility Charges, Project Company Equity, and Special Project Bonds

SBS Bus Service Dedicated bus lanes, limited stops, transit signal
priority M60 stopped 60% of the time and at times the
bus moves as slow as 2.7 mph
Conclusion New CTB to begin construction in 2014 Will remain open and fully operational
throughout construction No realistic major improvements to
accessibility planned at this time
