AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Discussion regarding the fee structure for “Greet & Go” parking fees at the Key West International
Airport, and possible instruction to staff to draft ordinance for public hearing.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In the past, individuals who were picking up friends and family at the Key West Airport could wait at
the curb until their guests emerged from the Arrivals gate. With the onset of Homeland Security,
waiting at the curb was eliminated. During construction of the new airport, many locals would wait in
the dirt parking lot directly across from the Arrivals gate. Currently, there is no free place for locals to
wait for any length of time to pick up arriving friends and family, so most people circle the airport
endlessly until their guests emerge from the Arrivals gate, causing excess traffic and frustration for
local residents.
Allowing free parking for pick-ups for up to 30 minutes could result in some lost revenue. This could
be re-couped by adjusting the fee structure for longer-term parking.
