If Klingle Road is rebuilt for motor vehicles, it is likely that repairs urgently needed in other parts of the city will not be performed because of the District's limited funds for road and bridge repairs. Many blocks of city streets could be resurfaced for the estimated cost of rebuilding Klingle Road.

Because Klingle is too narrow. The final sentence of the Berger traffic study states that "The opening of Klingle Road under any of build scenarios would result in only minor improvements to traffic operations due to the fact that the road size is incapable of relieving traffic or reducing the current LOS at surrounding intersections" (Progress Report, p. 9) (emphasis added). No.

No. They would come out of the same funds used to maintain other bridges and roads in the District of Columbia.

Rock Creek Park Superintendent Adrienne Coleman has publicly stated her opposition to a repaved Klingle Road. Unlike roadways near Rock Creek and the Potomac, there is no space for a pollution-absorbing strip of grass between Klingle Road and Klingle Creek. Thus runoff from the road would wash directly into the creek, worsening contamination of Rock Creek, the Potomac, and Chesapeake Bay.

The noise, streetlights, and risk of being hit in the road would threaten the wildlife and plants in Klingle Valley, which is an extension of Rock Creek Park. Rebuilding the road also provides much easier access to the private land that fronts on the road, increasing the likelihood of development that would reduce further the tree canopy of the District of Columbia, which has suffered catastrophic damage in the past 30 years.

Yes. The National Park Service, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, Audubon Society, Friends of Tregaron Foundation, Washington Area Bicyclist Association, and D.C. Road Runners Club all oppose any alternative that involves building a paved road. Yes. The March 1997 DPW "Transportation Plan for the District of Columbia" under the heading "7.17 ACTION ITEM: Bicycle Spine Network," refers to "Macomb Street/Klingle Road Path, from Massachusetts Avenue to the Rock Creek Trail."

No. Klingle Road is steep, narrow, has several very sharp curves, and falls off sharply into a creek bed on its south side. There was at least one confirmed fatal accident on Klingle in 1984, and there is anecdotal evidence from nearby residents that serious accidents occurred frequently before the road was closed in 1990.

Our on-roaders will happily travel on corrugated dirt roads, just the same as most sedans can. However, it's important to remember that they don't have the dust sealing, suspension or ground clearance that our off-roaders do. If you only want an on-road camper, but you regularly travel on dirt roads, a Rough-Road upgrade will probably be the way to go. Click here to for more information on our rough-road upgrade.

The uninhabited half-mile stretch in Rock Creek Park between Porter St. N.W. and Cortland Place, N.W.

No. The land that fronts on most of the closed portion of the road is owned by the National Park Service and is adjacent to the National Zoo (Smithsonian Institution). The rest of the land that fronts the closed portion of the road is privately owned and is currently undeveloped greenspace, though it is much likelier to be developed if the road were rebuilt.

DPW blocked vehicular access to Klingle Road in 1990 because drainage problems caused the road to collapse. Since then the road surface has continued to decay, and nothing has been done to fix the drainage problems or rebuild the road.

Whether Klingle Road is rebuilt for motor vehicles or protected as parkland, either alternative is eligible for TEA 21 federal highway funds that would pay for 80% of the cost. The remaining 20% would be paid by the District of Columbia's taxpayers.

No. None of the emergency services have stated that there is any need to rebuild Klingle Road. There is no evidence that it provides any public safety benefits.

Klingle Valley is open to people right now. Since it was closed to motor vehicles in 1990, cyclists, runners, walkers, dog owners, and nature lovers have used Klingle Valley regularly.

No. There are numerous routes for motor vehicles to enter and cross Rock Creek Park. Klingle offers one of the few routes for pedestrians and cyclists to safely enter the park. People can't speak to one another when they are closed into cars, but they can when they are out on foot or bicycles. Protecting parkland where people can meet and talk is a better way to promote better relations among Washington's residents than building another parkway.

Rebuilding Together is a national volunteer organization that works with local communities to rehabilitate the houses of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so that they may continue to live independently in warmth and safety. After months of planning and preparation, work culminates in a national Rebuilding Day, the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend. Volunteers from throughout the community join to help their neighbors and community.

Accelerated Reader has had a profound effect within our district. Students are so involved in their reading that most begin reading their books as soon as they walk out of the library door. Library circulation has skyrocketed since the start of AR. Books that are less than one year old need to be replaced because they are worn out from use. KIDS ARE READING MORE!

Deep Lake is about 30 miles from the Dotsero exit off I-70. After you exit, follow the signs to Sweetwater/Burns and turn north onto the Colorado River Rd. Follow this road 1.8 miles and then turn left onto the Coffee Pot Rd., FDR 600. Stay on this road for 29 miles until you see signs for Deep Lake and the campground. This road is suitable for passenger cars, but by mid-summer it will become washboarded at times.

Under the proposed agreement, Sequoia Healthcare District (SHD) would participate with Sequoia Hospital and Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) in a collaborative financing arrangement that will allow a $240 million rebuild of Sequoia Hospital without additional taxes. This arrangement calls for $75 million each from SHD, Sequoia Hospital and CHW, combined with $15 million from philanthropic contributions raised by the Sequoia Hospital Foundation.

All major roads and highways in South Africa are excellent and typical of any first-world country. Some of South Africa's back roads aren't as well maintained, so care should be taken while driving on them. Driving in South Africa occurs on the left-hand side of the road, and the speed limit is 75 miles per hour. Be on the look out for animals in the bush and in rural areas.

Absolutely. We use state-of-the-art digital road networks to calculate precise transit distances, times, and turn-by-turn driving directions. We can use GPS technology as a feedback mechanism for geocodes, as well as planned vs. actual analysis and self-tuning for drive times, stop times, and sequences (in conjunction with handheld application software). We have also used GPS technology to baseline existing routes as a yardstick for comparison with optimization.

Answer-There are no two opinions on the fact that the plots with the roads on the North or the East side are really good. But due to paucity of land it is not necessary that everybody will get a plot with roads on the East or the North side. In the plots with road on the South side the compound gate and the main entrance should be taken in the South-East of the South direction.

Our state legislature has determined that Road Commissions can spend no more than 10% of their transportation income on construction, so that essential activities such as winter maintenance and the repair of poor paved roads cannot be neglected.

No. DPW Acting Director Dan Tangherlini has stated that during the next two years, the need to repave roads will exhaust a $90 million cash reserve, after which the City Council will need to fund additional repairs to overcome years of neglect (8/11/20 Post, B1).
