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.
