[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just needs to be reopened permanently. The continued weekend closure is fine and makes sense. The “compromise” is just political face saving because NPS knows that it is getting little use during weekdays to justify this. Permanent closure of Beach Drive also imperils the proposed Connecticut Ave bike lane, because the studies have relied on Beach Drive being open to justify the loss of a traffic lane. Time to get back to normal. [/quote]

[b]Actually one justification for NPS is that "there were too many people in the park" and that the people were ruining the park.[/b]

And I could care less if the streets are lightly used with automobiles.
It's a park!

One of my all time great experiences in a park was Hyde Park in London.   NO CARS.   Grass that went on forever.   It was so wonderful[/quote]
I read the report. Could you point me where the report says this?[/quote]
