- Construct a plaza to connect the new welcome center and comfort station buildings, and house visitor orientation information
- Reconfigure the existing parking lot to decrease vehicle-pedestrian conflicts and reduce congestion
- Construct a small, unpaved staff parking area along Tuolumne Grove Road to reduce congestion
- Install a sewer to connect the welcome center complex to the Hodgdon community septic system and decommission the aging septic system currently serving the facilities
- Provide the option for the addition of a water tank and access road at a later date
