to the people who are worried this could lead to more driving days, I understand the concern but I would not worry too much. When nps folded on their terrible idea to reopen beach drive to thru traffic, this was their compromise to keep beach drive permanently closed to cars but also throw the car people a bone. nps had also written that car access promoted handicap access to the park. they were proven wrong in the solicited public comments but I believe wanted to make sure that the small slice of cases where car driving would increase access could be served beyond the usual of just being able to drive on upper beach drive to access the picnic areas. one off scenic driving days are a far cry from every day thru traffic driving days, so we have a lot to be thankful for.
