The previous marina access off U.S. 89 only allowed 9 vehicles with trailers to queue. A dual-lane entrance design accommodating vehicles from both directions into the marina was constructed and increased the number of queuing vehicles from 9 to 39.
Construction on this project began mid-February and was completed by the end of May 2021.
Better Access and a New Pedestrian Crossing
Along with the dual lane entrance, the existing access directly adjacent to the roundabout at the marina entrance will be closed. Vehicles will enter at the new signalized intersection at U.S. 89 and Raspberry Patch Road and exit at the north marina access.
In addition, a new street-level pedestrian crossing with safety flashers was installed at the overflow access road connecting to the multi-use trail for pedestrians to cross the road safely. This pedestrian crossing can be activated by pushing a button and will alert oncoming traffic to slow down and stop for pedestrians waiting to cross.
The crosswalk connection to the marina entrance on the east side of the road will be a widened shoulder path separated from the travel lanes by curb. Signage has been added directing people from the crosswalk to the marina entrance
