of the two sections of the pavement with another taxiway designation 2 The section of existing Taxiway "A" between the terminal apron and Taxiway "C" (the curved portion) will be re-designed 3 Taxiway "A5" will be redesigned at a new location to accommodate B-17 Hangar 4 The sections of existing Taxiway "A" where it intersects with new Taxiway "A" near the Taxiway "A3" intersection will be re-designated as Taxiway "G" 5 The section of Taxiway "A3", between new Taxiway "A" and old Taxiway "A" will be permanently removed The above design modifications cause significant changes In project
