PORT ANGELES — Port commissioners voted 2-1 Monday to spend up to $15,000 on temporary lighting and a paved walkway for a new parking lot across the street from the William R. Fairchild International Airport terminal.
“I think it is a priority,” Commissioner Leonard Beil said.
Following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Arlington, Va., the Federal Aviation Administration prohibited parking within 300 feet of airport terminals nationwide.
A new gravel parking lot was built south of the Fairchild terminal and southwest of the old parking lot.
