[quote=Anonymous]The Park Service plan seems balanced. Although over time I would hope to see more Rock Creek Park roads closed to traffic more often, these decisions cannot be made in isolation. For example, while closure of Beach Drive is contemplated, DC's DDOT is pursuing a plan that would reduce the rush hour travel lanes on Connecticut Avenue from four to two. Connecticut is the main DC arterial road that parallels Beach Drive and Rock Creek Park. No one in his or her right mind can assume that traffic will just go away like pixie dust. In fact, cutting rush hour carrying capacity on Connecticut will likely send traffic through side streets to find alternative routes north and south. Closing Beach Drive during the work week would make this bad situation even worse.[/quote]
