Description0248 Grand Canyon Railway Depot Area Construction (4928598368).jpg |
Improvements to railway tour bus staging area near the Historic Grand Canyon Depot. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn Project overview: Nearly 230,000 visitors per year arrive at the Historic Grand Canyon Depot via the Grand Canyon Railway, which is an important component of the park's transportation system. Bus tours serving train passengers currently load just north of the tracks in a small parking area off of Village Loop Drive adjacent to the Depot. Because space is limited, buses are required to back into the parking spaces or queue on the north side of the Depot. These maneuvers combined with hundreds of passengers crossing the street in the same area leads to a frustrating experience for many visitors and poses a safety risk. This project will move the tour bus loading function to an alternate location south of the tracks to mitigate much of the congestion north of the Depot, disperse pedestrian traffic and improve safety. The project will also greatly improve the integrity of the Grand Canyon Village Historic District, where the Depot is located. |
