MPRS22 -
"considerable percentage" means "meaningful percentage". Is the percentage too little that it can be ignored or does it need to be taken into account? When we ask whether "considerable percentage of usage" occurs, we are questioning whether the usage is meaningful or so little that it can be ignored.
If you say it is considerable, that means we need to consider it and cannot ignore it. If it is not considerable, it means it is so little that we should ignore it. If it is an amount we can ignore, it doesn't matter exactly how small or big the amount is.
As for (A), it is irrelevant. Whether horses cause more damage or walkers, doesn't matter. If horses cause more damage, great. We have banned them. If horses cause less damage than walkers, banning horses will still reduce damage. Perhaps we cannot ban walkers so we haven't banned them.
Think about it this way - Industries pollute the air much more than vehicles. But shutting down industry is not possible. Does it mean we shouldn't restrict vehicular usage too because industry cannot be shut down? No. We do what we can.

The park's goal: Minimize damage to the carriage roads caused by overuse.
The plan: Restrict access during spring (March 15th to May 1st) when the roads are most vulnerable.
- Bikes and horses are completely banned.
- Walkers and runners are only allowed on specific sections.
To assess the success of this plan, we need to know: C. Whether a considerable percentage of carriage road usage occurs from March 15th to May 1st.
If people rarely use the roads during that specific time, then even a complete ban on bikes and horses won't have a significant impact. The damage might primarily happen during other seasons or on unrestricted sections.
A (damage comparison): Knowing how much damage each user type causes is helpful in the long run, but it doesn't tell us if the spring restrictions target the peak usage period (March-May).
B (snowmobilers): Snowmobilers are irrelevant to the spring restrictions.
D (susceptible sections): While some sections might be weaker, overall usage during the vulnerable period (March-May) is more important.
E (visitor preferences): It's good to know visitor preferences, but it doesn't tell us how much people actually use bikes during the restricted period.
