> Has there been any real discussion on banning private autos in the valley and using only the shuttle system? Zion and Grand Canyon (south rim) have done this for years. To do that, though, I suppose there'd have to be one helluva big parking lot located somewhere.
I haven't seen any talk for some years, but a parking structure was proposed at one time, in the western section of the valley. But of course that idea was killed. Environmentalists would like to bus everyone in from many miles away -- from outside the park. But so many people don't want to be separated from their cars for so long, or have to pile into buses for an hour-long ride.
It would probably be prohibitively expensive, but I think an underground parking facility would be cool.
