The Purple Line isn't the only project stalled out in Bethesda. A surface crossing of Wisconsin Avenue for the Capital Crescent Trail nearly a decade in the planning has again ground to a halt on Bethesda Avenue. This past spring, the project finally got started, with construction of a protected bike lane on Bethesda between Woodmont and Wisconsin Avenues. Trail crossing signals were also erected on Bethesda near Woodmont. But now the unfinished work is just sitting there, and the project website is blank.
Robert, I asked Montgomery Parks that question during a public session several months ago. They indicated that they have halted work on Bethesda Avenue because they are waiting on PEPCO to do conduit work along the trail. They had no idea when PEPCO would do this work.
ReplyDeleteRobert: Can you check with PEPCO to see the latest on this?
