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.

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.

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.

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.

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. They would come out of the same funds used to maintain other bridges and roads in the District of Columbia.

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.

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.

Consumer products are formulated to be used with water and "go down the drain" into wastewater treatment systems (municipal sewage treatment plants or septic tank systems). To assure that products are safe for the environment, manufacturers evaluate the impacts of product ingredients in wastewater treatment systems, streams, rivers, lakes and estuaries.

In some areas, combined events can interact to accentuate the effects of El Nino. For example, in the southern West, during the winter months vigorous storms are more likely, precipitation amounts are heavier, the frequency of precipitation is higher, and events are more likely to persist. Thus, ground saturation is likely to be greater, and landslides are more frequent. With more frequent and vigorous storms, coupled with wet soils, trees are more likely to topple.

Unlicensed vehicles are not allowed on forest roads that are identified with a number. Because these travel ways are considered to be public roads, your vehicle must be street legal if you wish to use them. There are trails on the National Forests in Florida where you may ride off-road, and we are currently in the process of designating other trails for this kind of recreation. You are responsible for knowing which trails you are permitted to use.

Off-road vehicles (ORVs) are any two or three-wheeled motorized vehicles as well as specific vehicles described by regulations, with four or more wheels, intended for recreational use. In the new regulation, the following type of off-road vehicle is allowed access to provincial roads: an ORV that

The DMV's driver license and ID card application and renewal forms include the question: "Do you wish to register to be an organ and tissue donor?" Checking YES on the form automatically enrolls the applicant in the Donate Life California Registry, and the pink "DONOR" dot will be pre-printed on the applicant's driver license or ID card.

Answer: The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (also known as Motor Voter) permits persons conducting business at a DMV office to register to vote or update their voter registration information.

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.

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.

There is no evidence of this. The FDA monitors reports of adverse drug reactions and has found no difference in the rates between generic and brand name drugs.

Ford Motor Company is dedicated to preserving the environment and offers a special section on Environmental vehicles.

Recreational vehicles cannot carry towing and labor coverage and therefore, are not eligible vehicles for Roadside Rescuer. Even though towing and labor coverage is available for motor homes, they are not eligible for Roadside Rescuer’s sign and drive coverage and are subject to the policy limit.

No. The Wilderness Act generally prohibits the use of motor vehicles in wilderness. The law contains special provisions for motor vehicle use when required in emergencies or as necessary for the administration of the area. Motor vehicles may also be permitted for special uses such as access to a private inholding, to support grazing, or to exercise valid existing rights.

In Rhode Island, the Department of Transportation and the Division of Motor Vehicles are completely separate departments of state government. The Division of Motor Vehicles has a website on which DMV information can be found.

Person County bills property taxes for motor vehicles on the first day of the fourth month after vehicles are registered with the Division of Motor Vehicles. Taxes are due by the end of the month in which they are billed. Failure to pay such taxes on time will result in the City or County blocking the renewal of vehicles registration for the following year. The DMV cannot renew the registration until property taxes on the vehicle are paid in full.
