yea, it seems pretty dumb. However our airport manager tells us that
when Cal-Trans sees it they give him a pretty hard time about it. He
said they've said they may close some of the gates to prevent it. Cal-
Trans is really going nuts. They're taking away night permits at
airports throughout California left and right. They claim there isn't
enough clearance at night from trees adjacent to the runway. These
trees have been where they are for hundreds of years, the trees
haven't changed but the rules have. Unfortunately it takes a very long
and complicated environmental review to cut back trees that have been
there for hundreds of years.
