GND CTLR AT LOU RPTS TXWY CTRLINE MARKINGS ON 'H' INTXN EXTEND THROUGH FRESHLY RESURFACED RWY 14-32. FEARS POTENTIAL RWY INCURSIONS MAY RESULT.

Narrative

REFER TO LOU ARPT DIAGRAM. ARPT HAS JUST FINISHED RESURFACING AND REPAINTING OF RWY 14/32 AT LOU. UPON RETURNING TO WORK TODAY; I NOTICED THE CONTRACTORS HAD PAINTED A TXWY LINE DIRECTLY ACROSS RWY 14/32 AT THE 'HOTEL' INTXN. IN ADDITION; THERE ARE NO LEAD-IN TAXI LINES PAINTED. ONLY A SINGLE TXWY LINE DIRECTLY ACROSS RWY 14/32. THIS WAS POINTED OUT TO THE REGIONAL ARPT AUTH VEHICLE ON GND FREQ; WHO CLAIMED THAT ALL MARKINGS WERE 'IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARD FAA ARPT MARKINGS.' TO BE HONEST; THIS MAY BE TRUE; BUT I'VE BEEN A CPC AT 2 ARPTS; AND WORKED FOR A YEAR AT ANOTHER MAJOR ARPT; FLOWN INTO MANY ARPTS AROUND THE USA AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A TXWY LINE CROSS A RWY. LEAD-IN LINES OF COURSE; BUT NEVER XING A RWY. GIVEN THE RECENT ACCIDENT AT LEX; I CONTACTED THE FSDO OFFICE IN LOU ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM THEM; AND SINCE WE'RE A SMALL ARPT; I GUESS I REALLY DON'T EXPECT TO. THE CTLRS HERE FEEL THAT THIS NON-STANDARD TXWY/RWY MARKINGS WILL BE CONFUSING TO THE LARGE STUDENT PLT POPULATION HERE AT LOU; AND MAY CONFUSE OTHER USERS AS WELL. WE FEAR THAT THIS NON-STANDARD MARKING COULD LEAD TO A RWY INCURSION IF NOT CORRECTED. A MEMO OF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE MGR AND SUPVR AT LOU ATCT; AND I HAVE CALLED THE FAA'S SAFETY HOTLINE AS WELL.
