It's a good sign that the project is making progress.
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host a public meeting for the Klingle Valley Trail Project in Ward 3 on Thursday, August 20, from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. The project will convert Klingle Road NW between Cortland Place and Porter Street into a pedestrian and bicycle trail using green infrastructure components such as permeable pavement and bioretention ponds. The project will also restore eroded segments of Klingle Creek and rebuild drainage structures along the trail. At this meeting DDOT will review the project timeline, construction phasing, and key design components based on feedback previously gathered from community stakeholders.
There's a rendering of the east trailhead here (which I can't upload due to a terrible internet connection) which I had not seen before. Perhaps more will be at the meeting. According to the project website, work began last month (and there are other renderings to be found as well) and will end in late 2016. Construction updates here.
