"This has been a problem for some time, and we've had ambulances [get stuck]." - Richard Auchmoody

Joshua Tree National Park's busiest west entrance will close for construction from April 7-10, impacting thousands of visitors during peak season.

Tony Kay, a long-time resident, expressed concerns about the impact of the planned development on local traffic, stating, "The whole thing is likely to be a nightmare, it's going to completely muck up the pedestrian area. When the schools close at 4pm it's gridlock round here." He fears that the new tower's service road will further obstruct the area.
