Re: Hiker Shuttle Summer 2023
|
Interesting - there's been very little info published on the YNP website about interim arrangements for TM during construction. Will everything be accommodated within the footprint of the campground? Will there be laydown yards, stockpile areas, plant parking or demountable offices in the surrounding areas that take up some of the parking capacity? Seems like NPS should provide a little more guidance on their website, and if they want to discourage people driving up to TM they should *require* that the hiker shuttle runs. The contractor doing the work will absolutely have prepared a traffic management plan, Construction Environmental Management Plan, etc outlining all the logisitics of the construction work, especially given how sensitive the surrounding environment is. Would be nice if the highlights trickled down to the public to help in visit planning, especially if there's going to be reduced parking and traffic impacts.

In my last trip to TM last fall, I spoke with a ranger at the TP entrance regarding 2023 facilities. ?While the campground will be closed for all of 2023 and perhaps in to 2024, the other facilities (store, grill, shuttle and P.O.) were still up in the air
last fall. ?He did confirm that there would be parking at the Dog Lake and Wilddrness Center parking would be open though it might be limited by construction activities. ?Also because of limited parking elsewhere in TM those parking areas may see a lot of
use so call ahead. ?YARTS should be running so you can take it to the valley from the General store. Enjoy the hike. On Jan 28, 2023, at 11:04 AM, steve herr via groups.io <groundhogsteve@...> wrote:
