I just got notice that the Merced River Plan is open for public comment
Info Here NPS has chosen Alternative 5 as preferred. Not as radical as some had feared earlier, but interesting nonetheless:
One bridge removal (Sugar Pine) instead of 3
Camp 4 gets 35 more sites
Merced Lake High Serra Camp units reduced by half, beds reduced by over 2/3
The site linked here has the full plan, 20 page summary and alternatives matrix, comment procedure, etc.
Of course the whole discussion could be academic. Budget for all but the no-action alternative is ~ 235 million . . .
