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. 1 AIRPORT DRIVE DUMONT AVENUE STREET TREE PLANTING CONTINUES TO THE END OF AIRPORT DRIVE 4 AIRPORT DRIVE DUMONT AVENUE DELAWARE STREETWHITE STREETMARYLAND STREET2 EXISTING RECREATION PATH PROPOSED PLANTING @ AIRPORT ENTRANCE/EXIT PROPOSED STREET TREES ADDED TO FILL IN GAPS AND TO CREATE VISUAL CONTINUITY 5 EXISTING CITY SIDEWALK 6 AIRPORT DRIVE LEDOUX TERRACE3 EXISTING RECREATION PATH ADD ADDITIONAL PLANTINGS WHERE NEEDED, TYP.
