After a nearly three decade closure, a popular road in northwest Washington opened to pedestrians.
A three-quarter mile portion of Klingle Road has become the Klingle Valley Trail. It runs from Cortland Place to Porter Street in Northwest.
The road was closed in 1991 after a severe flood.
The path to get the trail built came with a lot of controversy over the last 25 years. But those on the path after its official opening said they have waited a long time for it.
The short trail cost $6 million to build. Those who were against the biking and walking path wanted it to be used as a road for cars.
