The National Park Service (NPS) is proposing the rehabilitation of overlooks along Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia.
Currently, many of the historic overlooks located along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park are in poor condition. Stone masonry retaining walls, guardwalls and parking areas are deteriorating, which has created public safety concerns and diminished overall visitor enjoyment. In addition, the overall historic characteristics of the overlooks have been diminished by some inappropriate later additions to the overlooks (e.g., rolled asphalt curbs and paved sidewalks).
* indicates the current step in the planning process
Step 1. Define purpose and need/develop preliminary alternatives
Step 2. Conduct external scoping
Step 3. Refine alternatives
Step 4. Identify environmental impacts and select preferred alternative
Step 5. Prepare draft plan/environmental document
Step 6. Public review of draft plan/environmental document *
Step 7. Analysis of public comment
Step 8. Prepare final plan/decision document
Step 9. Release final plan/decision document to the public
