   Comments: I am outraged that the DC Council would so arbitrarily disregard what has been the accepted public position to re-open this vital road again. With few crosstown choices, this road has long been important to those moving around our city. The benefits of keeping it closed are none and the value of re-opening this established pathway is clear. Re-open Klingle Road!

    Comments: Testimony for the repair and reopening of Klingle Road, NW by William Panici, 3225 Adams Mill Road, NW I come once again this evening, as I did several years ago, to address the repair and reopening of the portion of Klingle Road from Porter Street to Cortland Place through Rock Creek Park. But I come this evening out of frustration and anger that I must once again sit in defense of an issue that was debated and debated years ago and was decided. Now that it suits some (and I emphasize some) to reverse the decision members of the DC Council approved at that time strikes me as deplorable (indefensible). I cannot think of one single, solitary reason why Klingle Road should not be repaired and reopened. Environmentalists object, claiming Klingle Road to be Klingle Valley Park. I resent those claims as Klingle Road is neither a Valley nor a Park. It is a road that was established in 1909 long before Rock Creek Park was named a national park. This road provided, and should still provide today, a most necessary artery (of which there are precious few) to cross Rock Creek Park. I invite each and every one of you Councilmembers to drive from Adams Mill Road westbound along Klingle Road and then Porter Street between 7:30AM and 9:00AM and attempt to cross Connecticut Avenue. Measure the time it takes to wait for the light to change, imagine the gasoline wasted waiting in line, consider the pollution caused by emissions from the cars lined up, think about the road rage slowly building in the drivers’ psyche. Think about the amount of time emergency vehicles take to negotiate traffic at this time of day or at any other to save lives whether it be from fire, or health, or traffic accidents. Then ask yourselves, why you are sitting there today reconsidering the repair and reopening of Klingle Road Ward 3 residents say they have no need for Klingle Road. That’s because Ward 3 residents aren’t travelling eastbound to jobs on the other side of Rock Creek Park. They are driving up or down traffic light controlled Connecticut Avenue, or using the Red Line to get to work. But the faces I see on the busses and in the cars in the morning are going to jobs west of Rock Creek Park because they cannot afford to live in Ward 3. So those people with the least means are expected to wait in traffic, use up expensive gas, inhale exhaust fumes, and remain frustrated because a quick and easy way to get to Sibley Hospital, or American University, or the Department of Homeland Security, or wherever is denied them each and every day of work. I, too, am an environmentalist. I have walked the streets of this city to identify tree planting spots for Casey Trees. I have facilitate in the planting of street trees throughout my neighborhood. And since 1997 I have personally raised over $25,000.00 for the treatment of the now eleven majestic American elm trees that line the 3100 and 3200 blocks of Adams Mill Road, NW. Yes, I, too, am an environmentalist but one with balance and reason. I always understood that trees converted carbon monoxide into oxygen, but I guess I missed the notice that the trees along Klingle Road stopped doing so somewhere along the way. Yet I do not know of any trees along Klingle Road that would be sacrificed in its repair and reopening. Not to continue to work toward the repair and reopening of Klingle Road in my opinion is complete idiocy. Where is the commitment of the DC Council to complete the job they agreed upon a long time ago. Enough already! It’s time to get this job done and pronto! Thank you for your time.

    Comments: Klingle Road always was a convenient way to get from one side of the park to the other, avoiding Connecticut Ave and other crowded streets. The development east of the park makes opening the Road even more important as cross-park traffic should increase.

    Comments: Crossing town is more difficult than necessary, simply to assuage a small group of west-of-the-parkers, I presume. How about consideration of the broader community's interests, as well

    Comments: The city needs this connector road. It has been needed desperately during all the years it has been closed. Rock Creek Park is large and extensive enough to easily handle all who need to enjoy its verdant pleasures. The decision to reopen Klingle Rd should not be rescinded on the whim of a small group of self-indulgent, selfish citizens.

    Comments: Klingle Road needs to be fully repaired and open to all traffic, with consideration for road share for bicycles and cars. With all the new housing and business development, traffic congestion east of the park will only get worse unless we have additional cross-town access for automobiles, emergency vehicles, buses, etc.

    Comments: Klingle is a road, not a nature trail, and it deserves to remain a road. The closure of Klingle Road during the past 17 years has represented a hardship on all of us who need to go in an East-West direction. It has also resulted in polluting vehicles idling at Porter Road for numerous lights. Why should residents who live near Klingle have more rights than those who live on Porter

    Comments: I grew up living on Porter St. between 34th and Connecticut as have many of my friends. I think it completely unjust that the good residents of Porter St. must suffer the brunt of of traffic and noise every day. It is unjust and utterly undemocratic that this congestion cannot be split between two cross-town streets.

    Comments: Re-open Klingle Road. Taxpayer money was used to construct it as a road not a bike or hiking trail. It is elitist on the part of the council to disregard the real needs of residents who live East of the Park and must travel during rush hour across the city. It is not environmentally friendly to have cars on Tilden or other streets literally running their engines in stalled rush hour traffic. Washington, according to Forbes, already has the most congested roads in the nation and people here lose more hours commuting that in any other city in the U.S. Council's action is just a ploy to keep traffic out of neighborhoods West of the Park. Shame on you!!

    Comments: Historically, Klingle Road has served as a short cut from Western DC to Eastern DC and vice versa. And as a means for Emergency vehicles reaching Hospitals on the Eastside of town. Yes, this road must be opened to automobiles.
