Obviously, 9-11 and the subsequent events that caused prevented that plan from being implemented thus far.
I have not seen that plan but I have looked at the 2006 report/plan:

But yes, I think the long range plan of having a north and south concourse is very reasonable. My guess is the larger planes will get the new concourse and regional jets will be over at B/C.
Regarding the underground train. I wrote to Mayor Becker last spring and said do not screw up like Denver and not have just a train between concourses. People like to walk between concourses and if the train goes down people can not get to their flights. I wrote that and sure enough a month later guess happened in Denver - the train went down. At least like in ATL if the train goes down people can walk.
H830MH - yes SLC is thinking about hosting again (hangs his head in resignation icon). I hope they do not as the Olympics are a %$#@!. Most do not see the BS that goes with them. But that is an ONMI topic.
