FAA plans to update the Grand Canyon VFR Aeronautical Chart on 28 Feb 2019 and thereafter every three years.

The chart was last updated in April 2001

This news comes from the minutes of the latest Aeronautical Charting Meeting, which was held in October 2018.
 
Every time I visit The Grand Canyon, it's noticeably deeper. Glad to see the FAA is keeping up.
 
So they changed the ridiculously restrictive and confining airspace limitations so that light a/c occupants can actually see the darned thing? At least for a small fraction of the year? Or is any thought of fairly sharing of the asset with all users off the table still? Still only favoring people in ground vehicles or afoot/mounted?
