Deadline approaching for Sun Road comments
Hungry Horse News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 12 years, 3 months AGO
The deadline for public scoping comments for the Going-to-the-Sun Road Corridor Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement is Friday, Sept. 6.
Glacier National Park has begun a multi-year planning effort to address transportation and visitor use issues within the Sun Road corridor. This is the first phase of the planning effort, and additional public comments will be solicited as alternatives are developed.
The corridor management plan will develop a range of alternatives to address management of visitor use and experience, congestion, protection of natural and cultural resources within the corridor, and long-term financial sustainability of the Park’s shuttle system.
Public comments may be submitted online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/glac or by mailing to Glacier National Park, Attn: GTSR Corridor Plan, P.O. Box 128, West Glacier MT 59936.
