@Crickey,

Yes, NPS attended most of the public meetings and lobbied the city hard to close it.

What do you mean you don't understand water quality efforts? That work and the tens of millions spent on it had zero beneficial effect on vehicular use. They could have milled and overlayed the entire thing in 2 weeks if they were simply looking to improve the driver experience. Water quality and erosion improvement measures are poster child actions for an organization charterd as the NPS is.

The improvements of all the multi-use trails and adding one to the tunnel which is frankly, nothing more than a big "fu" to drivers as that tunnel is super narrow as it is and the distance to use the trail around it adds literally an extra 45 seconds to ones bike trip.

I am not exactly a big fan of the NPS or its track record, but you are dead wrong with your characterization of its work in Rock Creek.
