Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act
Refreshed 19 min ago
Introduced 2025-12-02Topic: land use zoningSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to issue a right-of-way for an emergency exit route across Blue Ridge Parkway land near Milepost 9.6 in Virginia, near Wintergreen. The route is the one shown as "Proposed Egress" on a National Park Service map dated September 2024. Before issuing it, the Secretary must report to committees in the House and Senate that three things have been done. These are an evaluation of exit options that do not cross federal land, including whether existing trails could become roads; an analysis of how a fire would be expected to behave; and any required environmental and historic preservation reviews.
