LAND CO. LAUNCHES

WEBSITE TO SOLICIT

PUBLIC INPUT ON

CHEVY CHASE LAKE

Future Purple Line Community

Goes Back to the Drawing Board

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive!!!

The Chevy Chase Lake redevelopment concept is getting a do-over, and developer Chevy Chase Land Co. wants your opinions.

A new website offers a conversation opportunity with CCLC representatives, the centerpiece of which is a survey.

"Why should I waste time filling out a survey?" Well, because they're likely to listen this time. After all, when your urbanizing proposal gets panned by urbanism guru Rollin Stanley, you know you've exceeded the boundaries.

To sweeten the deal, though, CCLC is offering to make a $5 contribution to the Friends of the Chevy Chase Library for each fully-completed survey.

Check out the survey and website here:

Large-scale plans for Chevy Chase Lake depend heavily upon construction of the Purple Line through the community. That's become somewhat of a stretch at the moment, as Ike Leggett's CPI budget proposal includes no funding for the rail line. Yesterday's revelations of large-scale demolitions of homes and businesses in the Washington Post are unlikely to win any new support for the trains, either.

So while you'll likely still be shopping at the Chevy Chase Supermarket in 2022, why not share your own ideas with the Land Co.?

You have nothing to lose, and $5 to gain for Chevy Chase Library.
