The good news is that our political system worked, and the

Not wanting to opine the matter, but unless I'm missing something,
45000 people isn't really a great lobby barometer , let alone force
that I would say could promote "a widespread public concern" ,
especially on a federal level.

Or is it?

45,000 may have represented the majority of park users in a particular
place.
