Requires an emergency exit route for Virginia's Wintergreen area across National Park land.
This bill would require the government to approve a specific emergency exit route for the Wintergreen area in Virginia, crossing National Park Service land. Currently, approving such routes is up to the Secretary of the Interior's choice. This bill would make it mandatory if certain environmental and safety studies are completed, helping residents and visitors have a guaranteed escape route.
Today, the Secretary of the Interior has the choice to approve or deny requests for rights-of-way on National Park Service land, including for emergency exits. This means approval is not guaranteed. After this bill, the Secretary of the Interior would be required to issue a specific right-of-way for an emergency exit near Milepost 9.6 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, if certain environmental and safety studies are completed and certified.
