Narrative:
I was working ground control with snow removal in progress on taxiway a. Pilatus was cleared to land on runway 1L. One of the snow removal vehicles made a comment about a low approach on taxiway a. I then observed the pilatus executing a climb out over taxiway a. I believe a contributing factor to this event is that MALSR lights have been installed at the ends of taxiway a because it will be used as a temporary runway next summer. These light system to a taxiway give the impression that you are lined up on a runway when you're actually lined up on taxiway a. These lights need to be removed until they are needed next yr.
