This issue is almost 60 years old. Presently, an Environmental Impact Statement, an EIS, is being organized. The website above tells the whole story and allows you to make public comments on the EIS. Please let them know how you feel.

If the $150Mn road is built, it will destroy the wilderness qualities of thousands of acres of Great Smokies National Parkland. Your Park, your wilderness -- the largest exspanse of wilderness left in the eastern US.

Personally, I think wilderness needs to be free from roads. Especially National Park wilderness.
