North Terminal
A future north terminal will be built north of the existing facility and could be operational by 2030 depending on demand, although the exact time frame is debatable (the economic downturn has delayed the need for the terminal at the present time). Infrastructure and design concepts are being developed in anticipation of the need for the second terminal facility. Phase 1 will be the first of several to open. It will consist of half the terminal building with one airside that will be used for all international flights. The two phase terminal building will be similar to the existing south terminal but plans are to combine the ticket and transfer levels. As with the exiting terminal facility, many concept designs have been reviewed. A roadway system will allow passengers access to the new facility from the existing airport parkway. Plans may also include a light rail station.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or terminal:
“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
