Just a few items that I think are important. 1) Soundscape: Mitigate noise hazards from all sorts of vehicles, boats, aircraft and road/snow. 2) Viewscape: Redo landscaping around the Inn. Shade is needed so replace evergreens with deciduous, such as aspens (precedent: Lower Ham's). At least deciduous can be easily pruned. 3) Access: No new restrictions to public access, which runs up against visitor safety. Visitors simply cannot reasonably expect complete safety in a wilderness - duh. 4) Smells / breathing: Okay, this is partly in jest, but do those 1970's era, nasty smelling, particulate spewing diesel buses really have to drive around the Park in 2010? Cough-cough. Just a reminder that the comment period is still open. Udo Freund GOSA Store www.gosa.org <snip> What are other people writing?
