Yesterday, Bicycle Retailer published an interview they conducted with Blue Ridge Parkway superintendent Phil Francis. The superintendent told Steve Frothingham of Bicycle Retailer that "we�ve never had a discussion about limiting bicycle use as part of the GMP (draft management plan) process, not since I�ve been here." Francis also went on to say that "Our plan is to continue to welcome bicyclists; we are not planning to change our policy at all."
To read or listen to the full interview, including comments on a multi-use path parallel to the Parkway, and mountain biking in the Park, please click here.
Public comments on the draft management plan will be accepted through December 16th. You can submit written comments by mail to:
Superintendent Philip A. Francis, Jr.
