FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Yosemite National Park can proceed with $60 million in construction projects while a court hears a lawsuit claiming commercial development threatens the fragile ecosystem, a federal judge said Thursday.
Park rangers praised the ruling and said being able to fix a failing sewage system and repave a road that loops through Yosemite Valley would ensure visitors could experience the park in its most pristine form.
"As we proceed into a busy summer season, being able to get this road work done as soon as possible will benefit everybody," said park spokesman Scott Gediman. "We're ecstatic."
