[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think NPS is blaming covid for a lot of things that they wanted to do all along. Like tickets at the National Zoo. There were fights and gangs nonstop that they couldn't control. The tickets have stopped all that.[/quote]

NPS has wanted to close Beach Drive for a while. Beach Drive really hurts the park. It’s just like the 4 wheel drive cars on the beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It goes against the mission of the park. NPS has no mission or directive to easy commute times in DC. I can see all of Beach Drive in the park getting permanently closed and surprised did not happen during the pandemic. NPR service is doing this at other parks.[/quote]

If the Parks Service really "wanted to close Beach Drive for a while" why did they undertake a multi-year, multi-million dollar rehabilitaiton of the road that was completed one year before the pandemic?[/quote]

Maintenance is scheduled. NPS does not see Beach Drive as a commuter highway as a part of the mission of the park. They want it is closed. Should have done closed it during the pandemic. [/quote]
