NARRATIVE
This document has been designed to create a “road map” for Future Improvements to the Burlington International
Airport Campus. Due to various FAA Regulations and Airport Procedural restraints, City mandated Landscape
budgets for future building projects are, in many instances, forced to be spent in areas other than the specific
project site. The concept behind the proposed Master Plan is to use landscape funds in the most constructive
and visually asesthetic manner by giving the Airport Campus a sense of identity and creating a Gateway into and
through the Airport Property. This Passage onto the Airport site is intended to capture the flavor and essence of
Vermont and its iconic landscape. Therefore, rather than try to place a multitude of plantings in a haphazard fash-
ion throughout campus, it is the intent of this document to create a unified streetscape along the main corridor of
the airport, namely along Airport Drive.
This will be achieved through the careful and artistic placement of several cohesive elements: Street Trees, orna-
mental fencing, and a variety of other native plant materials. Included in this scheme is the enhancement of key
locations along that corridor: A. The intersection of US Route 2 and Airport Drive, B. A gateway flanking both
sides of Airport Drive where it intersects Airport Road, and C. The main entry to the airport, along with the more
northerly located entrances and exits. In addition to the proposed planting of native trees, shrubs and ornamental
grasses, native stone walls, signage and scultpure by local artists is envisioned.
The other area of concentration will be the west side of Airport Drive where a Recreation Path has been pro-
posed as a way to create connectivity to and with existing City walkways, Recreation Paths, and Trails, so that the
community can have better access for walking, running, and biking. This serves to open up Airport property to the
neighborhood and community while creating an enhanced experience through a park-like environment. This paved
path will meander through existing open area and among existing trees and will be punctuated by informal sitting
areas composed of local boulders.
