Road to No Preference


Today the National Park Service stated that they had no preference at this time on what to do in regards to the "Road to Nowhere" in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Dale Ditmanson, Great Smoky Superintendent, stated in a news release, "We have postponed selection of a preferred alternative to allow time for the public and resource agencies to review the (draft statement),"

This statement didn't strike environmentalist to well. D.J. Gerken, attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, feels that the lack of a preferred alternative "does read like a surprise ending... In our opinion, the decision should be clear... It's an alarming development and it's very unusual."
