Looking at today's photos of AK I'm still a little surprised that Disney didn’t design the tram loop with separate load and unload areas like they did for HS. Now, I understand that HS had separate areas previously and AK didn't but you would think they would just do it as part of this work.
Now AK is the only park with a single load and unload area (although I believe MK is going to remain an oddball with two stations that act as both load/unload).

PHOTOS - Latest look at the main entrance construction at Disney's Animal Kingdom
One of the construction projects to resume at Walt Disney World is the new security check point at the park's main entrance.

the bus pickup area that you point out... is that where the trams to MK used to pickup at back in the day?
Where the yellow arrow is? Yep.
But why does the planter by the parking tram drop off area not line up with the monorail supports?

Same reason why the light pole in a parking lot didn’t get placed inside a island...the engineer for the monorail beam didn’t overlay his plans over the civil set, so it never dawned on either of them to make this accommodation.
It happens everywhere, even at Disney. So they will cut out concrete and widen the planter.

Because this was the designer...
Or Disney has run out of people to anger so they are now turning their attention to the OCD peoples of the world...

Can’t tell an engineer they are ever wrong.Because this was the designer...

I wouldn’t call it OCD. I’d call it doing it right.Because this was the designer...

The same reason NOTHING lines up or is even complimentary to the original TTC design.

If you zoom in closely you can see the metal queues for the trams in that white pavement area next to the lonely support. I bet the planter lines up with the space between the two tram loads and extending it to cover the other beam would cause issues with not enough room for the trams.

As an engineer, I agree with this statement. We are never wrong;-)

Then I’ve obviously never been to the park when they bloom like this!
I can still like them without being new right?
