The major mid-term development projects recommended for the airport include the development of com~entional hangaz space. Projects planned by MAC include signage/lighting improvements, building modifications, and pavement rehabilitation. The total cost of recommended mid-term projects is estimated at 51.8 million. Major projects for St Paul Downtown for the long-term period will most likely include the development of hangars to accommodate based aircraft that may divert to this airport from Minneapolis-Sk Paul International and the possible installation of an MLS. The costs associated with developing these hangars would fall in the privately funded category. Long-term hangaz development costs have not been quantified as part of the system planning analyses, as their development will be polity rather than demand driven. An MIS would cost approximately 51,000,000. While as MIS is listed as a development cost, the actual implementation is questionable • and would require extensive study. Routine maintenance and replacement costs, other than those costs included in the MAC five-yeaz capital improvement plan, were not included as part of the reliever system plan. It is assumed that MAC will remain the airport's sponsor throughout the planning period. Tabie V-8 provides a summary of all recommended projects for St. Paul Downtown Airport. ('n System Plan Contingency If diversion of light single- and twin-engine operations is not accomplished by improving neighboring airports to the point that they are able to attract Sk Paul Downtown's excessive demand, there is little Wat can be done to improve airport capaaty. As the number of operations increases, so will delay. While recreational traffic maybe able to schedule takeoffs and arrivals to avoid peak periods, business- related operations may be more constrained in their schedules. There are no secondary-ring airports that aze suitable candidates to attract Sk Paul Downtown operations. V 53
