Personal vehicles will not be allowed on Moraine Lake Road this summer.Alberta's Forestry, Parks and Tourism minister is taking issue with a decision by Parks Canada to close off access to Moraine Lake for those travelling by personal vehicle.
In response to Loewen's letter, Parks Canada provided a statement Monday. The organization wrote that most visitors to Moraine Lake are turned away, leading to frustration and sometimes anger directed at traffic management staff. "Other options based on continued private vehicle access, including reservable parking spaces, were considered," read the statement. "However, the demand for parking so greatly exceeds the capacity of the parking lot and the space available for vehicle and parking management, that these options offered fewer benefits than shifting to a shuttle system."
Now, the town will watch closely for any implications for the Banff townsite, where Roam has established a transportation hub. DiManno pointed out that Banff is where buses leave for a direct route to Moraine Lake during larch season, and she's open to further discussions.
