Description
The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center of Tongass National Forest in Juneau, Alaska, is experiencing vehicular and pedestrian congestion. This study was initiated by the United States Forest Service, Alaska Region, in cooperation with the Western Federal Lands Highway Division of the Federal Highway Administration. The study objective was to identify feasible alternatives for alleviating vehicular and pedestrian congestion with particular focus on options that would not require extensive alteration of the Visitor Center complex, pending a Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area Management Plan that is to be developed beginning in 2007.
