Asking the pikas politely…
The Gunnison City Planning Commission has finished reviewing the environmental assessment study recently completed by the Department of Energy. The D.O.E. seems to be biased in much of the report toward using the Highway 50 route because of the possible endangerment to the mating habitat of the sage grouse and pronghorn antelope. The report is severely deficient in addressing the impact on human beings. We have written a letter to the D.O.E. stressing our support of the Tenderfoot Trail route. We strongly feel that as the elected representatives of the people, it is very important for the Commissioners to publicly and formally take a position of leadership supporting the Tenderfoot Trail route. In addition, we rely upon you to ensure that all of the deficiencies in the environmental assessment are adequately addressed by the D.O.E. Perhaps the questions raised by the public will lead to your request for an environmental impact study. The last thing we want to happen is to look back in ten years and realize we made a terrible mistake.
