Bethesda bus shelter needs some work

The vandalized bus shelter problem in the declining former "Rodeo Drive" stretch of Wisconsin Avenue in Chevy Chase appears to be expanding north into Bethesda. While this bus shelter at Wisconsin and Stanford Street hasn't been smashed out like the one in Friendship Heights was, the window advertising panel and frame have suffered some sort of damage. Whatever the problem is, this is not a welcoming or acceptable state for a bus shelter to be in, especially given the record-high taxes residents are paying.

To address the matter, someone stretched a piece of tape across the open frame, and apparently then just shuffled off into the night. Stay classy, Montgomery County!
