The National Park Service initially proposed seasonal closures but changed course after public input.
— some residents said it would worsen traffic on nearby residential streets. The park service said it worked with the District Department of Transportation and concluded that traffic effects would be minimal.The road was a relatively minor route for cars before the pandemic, the park service has said, carrying between 5,500 and 8,000 vehicles per day. That compares with 50,000 daily vehicles on the nearby Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway.
The five miles of road that will remain closed include Bingham Drive and Sherrill Drive, in addition to three sections of Beach Drive. A middle section of Beach Drive will remain open for vehicles to access parking lots and picnic areas, the park service said. Colin Browne, a spokesman for the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, said the closed sections will connect into a broader network of trails and bike lanes that “really connect big parts of the city to each other and connect communities to each other.”
