Ourisman Honda resumes demolishing wall along Capital Crescent Trail in Bethesda

Ourisman Honda yesterday resumed its demolition of a controversial wall it recently constructed up against the Capital Crescent Trail, just off of Bethesda Avenue. The wall is part of an equally-controversial addition to the dealership, which included a massive parking garage. Together, the wall and addition are believed to be illegally intruding into three different easements, including that of the trail itself.

There is also a question of a fire code requirement that demands a 20' area for ladder trucks to access the rear of the Flats at Bethesda Avenue, in the event of a fire or emergency. While Ourisman has begun tearing down the wall without explanation, they have so far resisted calls to demolish the garage. That issue will be resolved by the Board of Appeals later this Spring. Trail users have been warned by signage to use caution when approaching the demolition site.

Thanks for the update! Part of one side of the trail was blocked over the weekend.

Have you seen the strange lady there walking her dog in a stroller a lot of the time? OMG it's so flipping hilarious. I hate being ogled there; it's disgusting and Ourisman Honda should do something about it.

Dogs strollers are big in some areas. A friend in San Diego dropped hundreds on hers. She uses it all the time. Both her little dogs fit and they go everywhere in it.
