The NPS is already badly short of funds for routine maintenance of roads, drainage, guardrails, CAMPGROUNDS, etc. To use any of that money to improve services which are not truly essential to visiting the parks seems sad.
Make ALL of the backlogged repairs (including the segments of roads that were melted by geothermal heat last Fall) first. Then if there is any money left over work on 4G.
That's because the NPS wastes buckets of money on million dollar restrooms, conducting raids on Alaskan residents and assigning officers to give out dog tickets. Among a long list of other waste items like blocking off the Rushmore viewing area during the budget flap.
