“Two local environmental groups joined a lawsuit filed last week against the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior over recent directives that opened up parklands nationwide for the use of electric bikes. The suit alleges that the agencies skipped necessary rule-making and environmental analysis steps, in violation of numerous federal laws.
Attorneys with the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a nonprofit based in Washington D.C., filed the lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Dec. 4.”
