The mid field terminal option is interesting and something that I never considered. This would lay the runways out similar to Bergstrom and would necessitate the need to close the crosswind runway. I'm not sure how access would be gained to the mid field option, but that would be cool if SAT explored that option further. The independent parallel runway IMO is the only way to go, dependent parallels cannot land aircraft at the same time, only in succession I believe. This was one of the main issues with Denver Stapleton.
