Letter: Parking ban has no merit

Friday, Sept. 28, 2001 | 4:25 a.m.

While I think most of are willing to undergo any inconvenience, major or minor, to make our airports safer, the ban on parking in the short-term parking structure at McCarran International Airport seems to have no merit.

To follow this to its logical conclusion, we should eliminate parking in any parking structure (i.e., casinos, shopping malls, sporting arenas, etc.). As flights resume, picking up arriving passengers is going to be a nightmare; you will have to drive around trying to find them. I think this will have its own negative effect on people getting back on airplanes.

I would suggest that the short-term parking garage be reopened as a place to pick up arriving passengers. Upon arrival, the passenger might call the person meeting him/her to determine what row/level to go to to meet his/her ride.
