Alternative 2: Expanded Recreation Theme will allow motorized vehicle access \n but on a more limited basis than the current gated permit system. A specific solution for \n “more restricted access” has not been proposed but ideas include limiting access during \n different seasons and/or limiting the number of vehicles, frequency of days and/or times \n motorized vehicles could enter the park.
