I drove by the airport today to see how construction was going. I noticed that they were demolishing the building at the old golf course… anyone know what’s going on there?

It seems like I heard a while back ago that they were going to reopen that golf course… I haven’t heard anything for a while but it looks like they’re taking that building down for some reason or another.

Could be new parking garage? If they ever build the parking garage. Because parking garage is at capacity. Too many people who coming to SLC airport. Lots of people are flying out. There’s no way to park the car.

My understanding was employee surface lot at the old golf course. They can expand the current parking structure on both sides when they see fit to do so.

They also need a much bigger and easier to access park and wait area. If they are building a new employee parking area they should relocate the park and wait where the employee parking lot currently is.

I was at the airport on Saturday picking up my daughter that spent spring break in Hawaii with her Girl Scouts group. I dropped off my wife and drove back around and parked in the cargo area for free parking lol. Waited there until my wife called me to pick them up in the pickup area.

Is that taxiway re-alignment in order to make that runway longer, to accommodate A380s and similar larger aircraft?

**Edit** Found a master plan document that discusses 34R extension to the north, as extension to the south is constrained by I-80. So I'm curious what the new taxiway alignment is being done for.

**Further edit**
At the onset of the master plan, during initial visioning sessions, interest in studying the potential for end around taxiways (EATs) around Runway 16L-34R was expressed by Airport staff and stakeholders. An end around taxiway allows aircraft to taxi around a runway end without interfering with operations on the runway. Airports construct end around taxiways to improve aircraft operational flows on the ground. Airports in the United States that currently have end around taxiways include Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), and Atlanta International Airport (ATL).

End around taxiways are implemented to reduce runway crossings and the risk of an incursion, reduce air traffic controller workload, provide for more timely and predictable gate arrivals, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and to increase runway capacity and hourly throughput. EATs can be effective in reducing delay due to their capabilities in enabling free-flow taxiing that does not require an aircraft to slow down or stop and wait to cross a runway.

I would assume it is to allow plane movement to runway 35 without having to cross 34R. Isn't it in the plans to modify 35 to parallel 34R for general aviation use?
