Dear Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Vela -
I support the environmentally preferred Alternative C that you have identified as your preferred alternative. This alternative balances wildlife protection with public use and enjoyment. Grand Teton is one of our most iconic National Parks, and so protecting and understanding the values and experiences of all visitors must be taken into consideration.
The Moose Wilson corridor is prime habitat for grizzly bears, and I would like to see preventing conflicts between people and bears a high priority. I support the Park’s previous efforts to close the road during times of grizzly bear activity.
The road can safely serve as shared use for cyclists and automobiles. Please manage and minimize vehicle traffic as outlined in your plan and reduce the speed for all. This ensures that grizzly bears, moose, and other wildlife are protected while also ensuring a high quality visitor experience. A separate pathway for cyclists is not needed for Moose Wilson road.
Moose Wilson road is a journey through amazing scenic beauty and great wildlife habitat. Therefore, throughway taxis and other commercial enterprises not related should not be permitted on the primitive road, with commercial uses focusing on enjoying and preserving the area's wildlife, scenic, and historical values. I support the Park Service and the environmentally preferred Alternative C.
