MK Toll plaza set to change quite a bit

[rteetz]

Hearing that we should expect a entire toll plaza replacement down the line when the road work here is done. The new plaza would be a bit closer to the parking lots.

Will the parking lots change too? I need to study a map to get a handle on this.

They were recently re-numbered the lots but they shouldn't change much yet. They really want to get this road project done. This is a major step in what seems to be a huge phased project.

This obviously makes a ton of sense and will help traffic a lot .... though did always love the idea of getting to go through the MK toll booths just to get to your hotel when staying at the Contemporary, etc. ... really made it feel like your hotel was "in" the park

Here is a full 128 page set of documents on the project.

That is only one of many documents for the project.

For anybody that's associated with construction in any way that very obvious and if you read the document it says that it's only at the 60% mark the completion of this document. I'd really love to see the construction specification documents for this project I'm sure it would be quite interesting to read for those in the engineering/construction fields. The one thing that this report deftly proved anyone who has ever questioned it is how unstable the ground really is in this area. With the water table only down 1'-2' and most of the soil being sand are similar very obvious to see why any major construction project gets expensive just from the foundation standpoint. And as its been pointed out many times previously if one of the major reasons my monorail expansion is pretty much out of the question from a cost/benefit standpoint.

I wasn't even referring to general construction documents, there are a bunch more documents as part of this permit filing.
