ADT vs. EVAR

Why don't they just name it Airport Dike Trail?

Heh

I'm surprised it doesn't show up as Airport [filtered word] Trail.

Emergency Vehicle Access Road/Airport Dike Trail

What's in a name? In this case, the federal government is concerned about safety on and around airports. They're perfectly happy to spend money to improve emergency vehicle access to all parts of an airport. If I were the FAA person supervising the doling out federal money to airports, I'd be way more likely to favor something denoted "Emergency Vehicle Access Road" rather than "Airport Dike Trail."

You, Joe and Jill Public, on the other hand, can call it anything you want.
