	Rock Creek Park: An Administrative History (Section 4)
		The greatest urban impact on Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway was and is automobile traffic.
		The link from the upper end of the parkway through the zoo to Rock Creek Park proper, built in the 1920s, was a major impediment to through traffic.
		In 1933, even before the parkway road was finished, highway improvement advocates in the city were favoring construction of a road tunnel beneath a portion of the zoo to straighten the link.

		Congress created Rock Creek National Park as "a public park and pleasure ground" with the purpose of "preservation from injury or spoliation of all timber, animals, or curiosities within said park, and their retention in their natural condition, as nearly as possible."
		The four original NPS alternatives were widely criticized by park user groups for failing to balance protection of Rock Creek National Park’s natural resources with preservation of existing recreational facilities such as community gardens and horse stables.
		Rock Creek National Park would be managed to encourage responsible use and enjoyment of existing recreational, cultural, and natural features, consistent with protection of the park's natural resources.
