Airport Takes Additional Steps – The airport has made a significant investment in markings, signs and lights to help reduce runway incursions, but in view of the most recent incident airport management has taken three additional steps.

A surface painted sign has been completed on Taxiway Alpha to advise pilots of the right turn for Taxiway Bravo.
All of the hold lines on the airport have been repainted ahead of schedule for maximum visibility.
Taxiway Romeo, a stub taxiway connecting the ramp to taxiways Alpha and Bravo, has been temporarily closed for 90 days to evaluate the effect in reducing runway incursions.

Another Walker Piece of Misinformation
By: Bill Tisdale

Randy Walker has stated that "Jean will not close and is compatible with the new IVP Airport".  Randy Walker is not a pilot.

The current uses at Jean are; Glider "ride for hire" Business, two different Parachute Jump Business operations, their landing zone is within the IVP airport boundary, the Soaring Club which has been at Jean for 20 years, flight school training operations from LAS, VGT, HND and 61B airports and the aerobatic box west of the airport. Yes, Maverick, Sundance and others use Jean (0L7) for their training

The current airspace design under the IVP study puts the Jean airport within the Class D surface area. That means that there can be no operations at Jean without first contacting a control tower 4 miles away. The FAF for landing to the south at IVP will be approximately at the Jean I-15 exit ramp, right over the casino and the Rwy 20R/02L downwind. Estimated altitude at the FAF would be 1500ft AGL and descending. The traffic patterns at Jean are 800-1000 ft AGL. I'm not sure I would want to be on a left downwind to 02L with a heavy on approach toto IVP only 500ft or less above me and behind me.

I am sure the new tower at IVP, 4 miles away, would not want to be controlling an airfield within their Class D surface area that they cannot see. An airport that has two runways
