Nine years after creating a plan to limit crowds in Yosemite Valley, National Park Service officials are starting over. Fresno will be the first stop Monday in a tour of cities from Sacramento to Pasadena where officials will seek public comment about protecting wildlife and the banks of the Merced River from crowds. The closest meetings to Modesto are July 22 in Mariposa, July 29 in Yosemite Valley and July 30 in Groveland.
