Yosemite National Park officials are seeking public input on plans to rehabilitate the Bridalveil Fall area/NPS

Yosemite National Park officials are kicking off a month-long listening period to collect public comments on a proposal to rehabilitate the Bridalveil Fall area.

The purpose of the Bridalveil Fall Area Rehabilitation Project is to:

· Improve visitor services at the base of the waterfall, including restroom facilities
· Improve accessibility for all
· Protect natural and cultural resources in the area
· Reduce crowding on the trails and the viewing platform
· Improve safety and reduce vehicular/pedestrian conflicts
· Improve interpretation and wayfinding

The project is intended to implement actions prescribed in the Merced Wild and Scenic River Comprehensive Management Plan.

During the scoping period, which runs from April 26 through May 26, park staff will be solicitating your ideas, concerns, potential issues, and topics to consider as the park moves through the environmental assessment process. The park will offer a public scoping meeting in Yosemite Valley on Wednesday, May 10. This meeting will be in the Valley Auditorium from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., with a presentation by park staff. This meeting provides members of the public an opportunity to speak with the project team and to learn more.

You can share your written comments by May 26 via one of the following methods:

Online through the Planning, Environment, and Public Comment website at this page. This is the preferred method.

Superintendent, Yosemite National Park

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
