6	Margaret Lenzner	Klingle Rd's entry to Rock Creek is a vital roadway for citizens West f the Park like me. Abandoning it and letting it become parkland is ludicrous.

13	Anne Sullivan	This road should be rebuilt and reopened. That is what the due process has been on this issue. The land was also given with the understanding it should be a road.

16	ronald lefrancois	Very disappointed in Councilwoman Cheh's dead-of-night attempt to overturn a sound public policy decision made by a previous Council after ample deabte. Please re-open Klingle Road. Ron Lefrancois AU Park
17	Richard P. Joyce	It's a vital cross-town link.
18	Joseph Keyerleber	The road should be open to reduce pollution in the Rock Creek Park area from standing vehicles at traffic lights at Beach Drive, Porter, Tilden and Connecticut intersections.

22	Virginia L Jarrett	I can remember driving on Klingle Road many, many years ago. When it was closed, it was to be only temporary. Temporary has become more than 30 years. It's time to put Klingle Rd back on the map!
23	Anonymous	I live in Mt. Pleasant and sorely miss the absence of this important east/west route. Porter Street is a mess, and yet it is one of our only options.
24	Ann Ford	I agree with the Washington Post's editorial on the matter. Please reopen Klingle Road.
25	Nicholas Brandes	Absolutely a routine piece of civic common sense is being blocked by a self interested minority.
26	Randy Kaplan
27	Denis James	Along with the need for east-west routes across the park, and alternateaccess for emergency vehicles to neighborhoods close to each end of Klingle, it's another way for folks to get into Rock Creek Park to enjoy its various facilities. Older and disabled persons must be considered as well. Everyone is not able to rollerblade, bike or jog from their neighborhood into the park.
28	Jane Sargus
29	Rennie Sherman	Yes - it's a ROAD
30	Rennie Sherman	Yes - it's a ROAD

32	Emily Carton	I love green space as much as anyone. But as a long time resident of Washington, DC. I know that Klingle road was built as a road and meant to be a road. It should continue to serve as many residents as possible to get across the city.

35	Judy Squires	I understand Mary Cheh spearheading the effort to keep Klingle Rd. closed since it's in her ward. I'm outraged that Kwame Brown and Marion Barry assisted Ms. Cheh in her effort to keep it from reopening. It's unfortunate that Mr. Brown is running unopposed. I hope Ward 4 will remember this vote when he next runs for re-election. It demonstrates a lack of respect for those who live East of the Park.
36	Seth Martin
37	Bill Bentley
38	Rebecca Crumlish	This road should reopen.
39	Anonymous	Open the gates.
40	Michael P. Hoffman	The Mt. Pleasant neighborhood has very few road connections to areas to the south and west. This road is badly needed. [I'm a former resident of Mt. Pleasant, and now live in Dupont Circle.]

44	Elizabeth Cavendish (Betsy)	We need more access between E and W of the Park. Our family are hiking, biking Rock Creek Park lovers, but we want that road open. There are lots and lots of paths and roads for biking, but much tougher access across the park. Enough of the delays; let's get going and bridge our city's great divide.

46	Mary McComb	The decision was made awhile ago, it's time to follow through on it and not reevalute. Nothing ever gets done when every decision is permanently open for rethinking.
47	Cliff Kellogg	I love parks, but if life in the city is too difficult, then people move farther away and create more sprawl. This is a sensible solution that improves the greater good.
48	Richard A Clark	I never did see any intelligent reason that they closed it in the first place. I just got the impression that "money talked" and the local NIMBY's got their way with their money and influence. But that's the way Washington DC operates, do deny that, tells me that someone hasn't been paying attention.
49	Patrick Baker	I'm so disappointed in Mary Cheh for this. Why divide the city when we can bring it together? We need communication across the park.
50	Jourdinia S. Brown	Klingle Road serves purposes that generally benefit the citizens of the District of Columbia, the region, and the nation. I would like to see Klingle Road restored to its historic use and would not support the closing of the road for special interest groups.
