Four Alternatives for the proposed 

Klingle Valley Multi-Use Trail, 

including the No Action Alternative, 

were developed in accordance with the 

project objectives established to meet 

the project purpose and need and are 

analyzed in detail in the EA. The 

proposed trail alignment for all Action 

Alternatives (Alternatives 2, 3, and 4) 

lies within the existing DDOT right-ofway. The EA examines and evaluates 

the existing environmental conditions 

within the project area along with the 

environmental consequences and 

cumulative impacts of several 

alternatives for the proposed 

improvement.

Notice of Withdrawal of the Notice of 

Intent for Klingle Road Environmental 

Impact Statement; Washington, DC 

AGENCIES: Federal Highway 

Administration, District of Columbia 

Division; and District Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of Withdrawal of the 

Notice of Intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Klingle Road. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that, effective 

immediately, the Notice of Intent (NOI) 

(Federal Register Vol. 69, No 52; FR Doc 

04–6027) to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

reopening of Klingle Road, NW., to 

vehicular access in Washington, DC, is 

being withdrawn. The NOI for the EIS 

was announced on March 18, 2004. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Federal Highway Administration, 

District of Columbia Division: Mr. 

Michael Hicks, Environmental/Urban 

Engineer, 1990 K Street, NW., Suite 510,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In June 

2008, the District of Columbia Council 

passed legislation called the Klingle 

Road Sustainable Development 

Amendment Act of 2008 (DC Law 17– 

219; DC Official Code § 9–115.11). This 

legislation ended studies to reopen the 

barricaded segment of Klingle Road to 

vehicular traffic, and specifies that 

District Department of Transportation 

(DDOT) shall allocate and use Federal 

aid highway funds for the 

environmental remediation of Klingle 

Valley and the construction of a 

pedestrian and bicycle trail along the 

barricaded portion of Klingle Road, 

between Porter Street, NW., and 

Cortland Place, NW. Based on this 

legislation, the NOI to prepare an EIS 

will be withdrawn. 

FHWA in conjunction with DDOT 

have determined that an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) will instead be 

prepared to evaluate a range of 

alternatives and impacts for the 

construction of a multi-use trail facility 

within the 0.7 mile barricaded portion 

of Klingle Road; including the 

restoration of Klingle Creek, in 

cooperation with the National Park 

Service (NPS). The proposed multi-use 

trail facility will be constructed using 

context sensitive design, to provide safe 

non-motorized transportation and 

recreational opportunities to the 

residents and visitors of the District of 

Columbia.
