I really recommend reading the county commissioners letter to the park. It leads off with a one page summary with four bullet points that reads like a response to the call for public comment on the Sun Road EA that came out this year.
I found the four bullet points fascinating.
- Safety
- Quality and scope of service
- Where is the money coming from?
- Glacier needs to be giving back to the community
In my personal response to the GttSREA I hit on three of the four. Most people I spoke to about the EA had comments that fit into one or more of the four points. I am curious if this remains true for you all? Did you comment on the EA? And did your comment speak to one or more of these points?
As I see it, Park just got their marching orders. The public comments are in, this last one summarizes nearly all concerns very nicely with two added bonuses. It comes from the elected leaders of a large population block that is impacted by Park decisions. And it has teeth.
