   Comments: I have never understood the "environmental" arguments for closing Klingle Rd, when it could take pressure off the few streets that cross the park, allowing traffic to move more quickly between neighborhoods and leave less trace. Engineers can surely design both a trail for foot and bike traffic and a road that can be open when needed to more substantial vehicles.

   Comments: • Cheh’s legislation limits the trail to 10’ width with a permeable surface. The EA has a wider and impervious surface alternatives. It should add an alternative of restoring and rebuilding Klingle Road. • Hike/Bike supporters told Cheh the trail would cost about $2million. The EA says at least $5 million and $7millon to extend to Rock Creek. In 2005, the cost of rebuilding the road to its pre-collapse two-lane configuration was $7.1 million. That’s still in the ballpark in today’s economy. A road is clearly more bang for the buck. • A road assures the District’s right to use the Klingle land forever as a public highway. A hike/bike trail does not. • The 2003 Road restoration legislation and a supporting Preliminary environmental impact statement were in force when the Tregaron land swap deal was negotiated and approved by the Mayor’s agent for historic preservation. Closing Klingle Road kills development of at least five high-end residences that would otherwise generate badly needed income and property taxes for the City. • Permeable surfaces may be useful on flat terrain like a parking lot. Building a permeable surface trail, that cannot catch storm water running down Klingle’s slopes, is a multi-million dollar experiment at the expense of DC taxpayers. • WASA, WMATA and Washington Gas have used Klingle Road since its collapse in 1991. WASA had the road plowed in February 2010. Multi-ton trucks used the road on the Connecticut Avenue Bridge rebuilding. The Cheh Trail does not provide width or durable surface needed by these vehicles.

   Comments: I have lived on Cleveland Ave. for 25 years as well as Adams Mill Rd. for 3 years and I think that Klingle Rd. should be reopened! I have remained firm in that position ever since I last used it in the 1990's. Delay no more. Open the road.

   Comments: Klingle Road should be restored to its use as a public road immediately and any repairs that need to be made to ensure its viability as a working, public road and access route should be made promptly. The proposed bike/hike trail adds little to the recreational resources of Rock Creek Park and would serve a handful of residents in the vicinity. A public road serves ALL the citizens of the District of Columbia who pay taxes to support the maintenance of such essential transportation arteries as Klingle Road. Do the math. It's a simple matter of fairness to the community at large.

   Comments: Access to Klingle Road would tremendously alleviate traffic in this neighborhood and in Rock Creek. It's about time that Jim Graham and local politicians stop cow towing to the famous widow living on this side of the road... who shall remain unnamed, and to the rich folks on the other side.

   Comments: Klingle Road was designed to serve our city as a route crossing Rock Creek Park. It should be repaired and placed back in service to the community now.

    Comments: Please rebuild Klingle as a PUBIC highway. And do stop cow towing. It puts a strain on the tow truck and is even worse for the cow.

    Comments: This argument has been going on for too long. Klingle Road is a city street/road and as such, should be opened to automobiles so that other parts of the city can benefit, especially those east of the Park wishing to get to areas west of the Park.

    Comments: Hey Mr. Mayor, how can we have "one city" if the West-of-the-Park plutocrats can keep us from crossing the park?

    Comments: The short-sighted goals and low reward for the high price tag of the project show just how little administrative and business acumen possessed by our so-called public servants. This is a poorly conceived and horribly mis-guided project that has compromised its way into uselessness.

    Comments: Klingle Road is a road, not a park. Please re-open it to traffic. It will help with traffic flow, public safety and is the solution which is most fair to all residents of the District.

    Comments: I live in Woodley Park, and while walking in the neighborhood today, I accidentally came upon the closed off portion of Klingle Road. My immediate thought was "Why is this road closed?" My online research led me to the disappointing answer. This road should be reopened.

    Comments: Criminy! It's ludicrous to be reduced to signing an on-line petition to re-open a washed-out road whose repair should have been reflexive and swift. So much aggravation, wasted travel time, and gas could be eliminated by Klingle's restoration. Sadly, I fear that this issue is going the way of the sealed-up Dupont Circle trolley car station - FORGOTTEN. If it were known today how useful this stretch of roadway could be there would be no question as to the disposition of this matter. The Klingle Road repair is off the radar screen . . . . . for now, but a Mayor Catania will favor it. Envision Katania/Klingle signs in yard now!
