Good news for those who love the idea of the Klingle Trail.
The FHWA has determined that the Preferred Alternative and options will not have a significant impact on the natural, human or built environment and has issued a FONSI for the Klingle Valley Trail project.
As Lydia DePillis explains
The issuance of FONSI means that the proposal... won't have to go through a lengthy environmental impact statement process.
Next on the agenda
Lock down funding in the city's fiscal year 2012 budget to actually engineer the thing. And then get the money needed to construct it, which will be a mix of federal and local dollars. And then, most likely, get the City Council to perform a formal street closing. Bottom line: Nothing happens before 2013.
FYI readers, FONSI is Finding of No Significant Impact and has nothing to do with Henry Winkler.

Why waste bike funding money on this not very useful trail? There is better use for the limited dollars that will be available as budgets get cut in the future

I have been hearing about Klingle trail for ever, so there must be some long term interest in it (or vocal proponents)

Please read the Final EA closely. There will be NO road/street closing. Klingle Road IS necessary as a transportation route (which includes bike/ped trail) and DDOT will maintain the right-of-way: so there will be no application submitted City Council to close it.

Undoubtedly the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress.

Consequently, they try to convince the bearers of bad news that things aren't so bad, and swift action can make problems go away.
