[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone point to actual research showing that the lack of a road here causes [b]significant transportation difficulties, especially impacting poorer DC residents[/b]? Because until you convince me of that, I am going to conclude that additional greenspace and trails in DC is a good thing (for EVERYONE).[/quote] The roadway was too curvy and the grades rather steep for public transportation like buses. Crosstown buses never used Klingle for this reason when the road was open. And after snow or heavy rain, DC would close the road to traffic anyway, making Klingle unreliable as a public transit route even if buses could normally traverse it.[/quote]
