You fail basic reading comprehension and also, bizarrely, an understanding of the layout of this very park. I sincerely hope that you send NPS thousands of comments falsely premised on this lie that they are doing this because there are too many park users. They will just throw those away.[/quote]

I feel like I'm debating Donald Trump.  You continue to attack and insult, but everyone else can see that's exactly what NPS did.
It's written in that article and the DCist article.

Bottom line  advocates for closing the park to cars are going to continue to fight for this.
And hopefully DC council and Montgomery Co will continue to push for closing the park to auto traffic.[/quote]
There is an actual report written by NPS which explains why they proposed this option and the other alternatives. I suggest that you go and read it. The DCist article willfully misinterprets that report and it looks like you have been manipulated as a result. This just shows the power of bad journalism. NPS never said that reopening Beach Dr was necessary because there were too many non motorized park users. They said that the non motorized users that accessed the park via the closed Beach Dr were breaking park rules and causing environmental impacts which were likely higher during winter months and lower during summer months.

There is nothing wrong with continuing to advocate for your preferred outcome and good luck to you. I am just pointing out that your understanding is based on a false premise and as a result NPS will not take your input seriously. Good luck with your name calling campaign though, I am sure that it will sway the professional career civil servants at NPS to be more amendable to your position.[/quote]
