Excerpt from Draft Transportation Plan, Environmental Assessment, Glacier National Park, Montana: August 1989 Four alternatives, including a no-action and a preferred alternative, have been developed. Each alternative includes proposed actions for road rehabilitation, implementation of a public transit system, and traffic management. Treatments for Packers Roost and Camas roads, the Sun Point intersection, and 130 turnouts on going-to-the-sun Road are also proposed. All proposed actions have been analyzed for their beneficial and adverse effects on visitor use and the environment and for their cumulative impacts on cultural resources.

Excerpt from Glacier National Park: Summary, Draft Transportation Plan/Environmental Assessment, August 1989 Alternatives to other major park roads (many Glacier Road, Two Medicine Road, Chief Mountain Highway) were not presented in the transportation plan because further geotechnical and planning studies are required before formulation of specific road options. Road options for the North Fork area will be analyzed in the development concept planning effort currently underway. The North Fork Road will not be changed in character or condition. Because the Cut Bank Road is in generally good condition, no actions other than normal maintenance are proposed during this planning effort. Bicycles are a popular means of conveyance on going-to-the-sun Road and on other park roadways. The level of bicycle use on park roads does not comprise an appreciable percentage of the total traffic volume. However, there is currently a lack of accurate data on the exact volume and distribution of bicycle use in the park. Therefore, a systematic and comprehensive analysis of bicycle use will be conducted for the park, including a count of bicycle use levels on major park roadways and a survey of bicyclists to determine their potential needs. It will be conducted at the earliest possible opportunity (in consideration of available funding and staff). After completion of the analysis, a bicycle management plan will be developed for the park and will become part of the final plan.

The Transportation Plan proposes actions to provide for safe and enjoyable travel in the area of Glacier National Park that includes Going-to-the-Sun Road and related attractions. The plan is needed to correct road deficiencies, reduce safety hazards, and solve traffic and transportation problems in this area and to identify the most feasible public transit system for future use. Cultural resource preservation laws and procedures were a major consideration in planning. Going-to-the-Sun Road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a significant cultural resource.
