Airport Access Gate Design and Operation. This item is for discussion and possible action. Mr. Husband reported that the Gate 2 open dwell time has been shortened. Phoenix Fence also provided two options for the future if needed: shorten the loop length and/or to install an electric eye which would detect a car going through the gate for which a bid could be provided.
