Yosemite Park Limits Access
In a move to reduce the strain on the park from overcrowding and
traffic congestion, the National Park Service announced this week
that access to Yosemite National Park will be cut by 10%. Park superintendent
Gabe Foster told reporters that the move was long overdue. "The
effect of overcrowding has had a devastating effect on the wildlife
and the park's natural features." he explained, "At this point,
we feel the only way to preserve its natural beauty is to limit
such exposure."
Local businesses did not react well to the announcement. "This
is going to have a devastating impact on the restaurant." said Susan
Sanchez, owner of the El Cap Inn, "We're looking at least a 10%
decline in revenues, if not more. I don't know how we're going to
make it."
Environmental groups hailed the decision, saying that it was a
tough call but necessary to preserve the park for future generations.
