Project Description:<br />

This project will replace the existing north entrance station to reduce serious traffic safety hazards,<br />

improve visitor safety, improve resource protection, address employee health and safety concerns,<br />

and improve park operations and maintenance efficiencies. The project includes replacing the existing<br />

entrance station building (50sf) with a new one. The new structure will be approximately 220sf and<br />

include an accessible restroom, a work station, and a place to securely count money. In addition to the<br />

building, concrete curbing, asphalt paving, and water, sewer and electrical utilities will be modified to<br />

serve the new building. This project also includes replacing the existing heating/cooling system,<br />

improving the fire protection system, replacing telephone lines and fiber optic cables and correcting<br />

the inbound traffic flow problem to reduce traffic conflicts. The existing entrance station building will be<br />

demolished.<br />

Project Need/Benefit:<br />

The north entrance station was badly damaged by a recreational vehicle in 2000 and was partially<br />

rebuilt. This repair was considered a temporary fix. It is past its expected service life and exhibits<br />

extensive areas of weathered and rotted wood, the roof and floor are leaking and heating/cooling<br />

equipment require constant maintenance. In addition, the current station was not adequately designed<br />

for safety and is not ADA compliant. Widening narrow lanes will accommodate large vehicles and<br />

prevent emergency vehicle conflicts. This will improve park operations with regard to visitor contact<br />

and fee collection.<br />
