How would rebuilding Klingle Road for motor vehicles affect Rock Creek Park?
Save Klingle ValleyRock 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.
Related QuestionsWhat are the other likely environmental effects of rebuilding Klingle Road for motor vehicles?
Save Klingle ValleyThe 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.
Related QuestionsDo we need to rebuild Klingle Road to create more links across Rock Creek Park?
Save Klingle ValleyNo. 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.
