“Two regular Acadia National Park visitors have joined a lawsuit challenging the National Park Service and Department of the Interior decision to allow ‘e-bike use throughout the National Park System.’
The legal complaint was filed last week by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, together with four other organizations and three individuals directly impacted by the new order.
It argues that National Park Service officials who made the decision to allow e-bikes in the parks were never properly confirmed to their positions, and therefore lacked the authority to make that decision. The suit also says the decision was made without proper environmental review.”
