The parking lot on the west side of the station is still a mix of gravel and, due to melting snow that day, slippery mud. There was a large pile of fresh gravel in the parking lot and a new, paved parking lot would be a nice improvement, but I didn't ask the company if that's part of the plan.


Speaking of parking, as a former alumni of Gettysburg College - I don't know how that will work out. I've included a rough screenshot here with a few circles showing some things. Right behind the station itself are college apartments and student parking. So I'm pretty sure that won't be available to use. Between Constitution Avenue and the tracks next to the apartment is a borough pump facility - the circled green area might be the best bet for a parking lot, but it's not that big of an area. To the far left in the photo is reserved/event parking for the College. Again, I don't remember what the agreement was with the college, but I imagine they're going to have to give some of that up for the railroad's use. I don't know what summer parking is like, and I know there's a daycare facility right there that needs some parking too...should be interesting either way!

I also got a few photos of the station construction in town a few weeks ago and am attaching a few pics here as well.
