The Maryland State Highway Administration continues its slow and haphazard renovation of sidewalks along Wisconsin Avenue.
Even as sidewalks further north remain unfinished, crews are now working in front of the Hyatt at Bethesda Metro Center. Yesterday, the curbside sidewalk was closed to pedestrians. Full access to the hotel remains, however.
As these many projects slouch towards completion, Bethesda will not be spared the embarrassment of being in this condition when tourists arrive for the Inauguration later this month. Is this the impression the state wants visitors from around the nation - and the globe - to have of Maryland and our fair city? It's a disgrace to leave streetscapes in such shambles when the event is known to be approaching.
