Also because of the crosswalks there was a lot of traffic getting backed up because of pedestrians crossing to the pickup and rental car areas, making it difficult for cars to pull in and out of the parking lane.
The new dropoff has nothing else at that level so no crosswalks and although the terminal building frontage along the road is about 600 feet, the dropoff begins well before the building and extends slightly beyond it making the effective dropoff length about 900 feet. Also aren't there two parallel dropoff lanes? I think it will be fine.

Also isn't there a separate drop-off and pickup area one floor above the other, effectively doubling the length of the pickup/drop-off area?
