They've left no sidewalk for pedestrians! I don't trust the drivers here enough to walk in the street..
ReplyDeleteGlad this is underway. There need to be more living units in Bethesda to keep prices down.
ReplyDeleteThe sidewalk closure is ridiculous. It'd be slightly better if there were warning signs, but not much. Crossing mid-block on St. Elmo isn't remotely safe. I'd feel safer crossing Woodmont mid-block.
