It's time for Sad Monopoly Guy to stroll down Bethesda Lane at Bethesda Row. That's because there's no more free parking at the end of the pedestrian street where it meets Bethesda Avenue. The curb cut ramp area had been designated for takeout patrons to briefly park or stop for curbside pickup of meals during the pandemic. No Parking signs have now appeared.

I have never found it hard to park in Bethesda. I can walk a little or pay a little.
ReplyDeleteI predict people will just ignore those signs unless you have people visibly getting ticketed or towed.
ReplyDeleteI know it's not quite as convenient as those few end-of-Row spots, but there is a county parking garage literally adjacent to Bethesda Row that doesn't cost much and has lots of spots. Just a suggestion! :-)
ReplyDeleteFinally. The issue wasn't parking, it was those people trying to back out onto the road again and blocking traffic that's already backed up for the light to cross Arlington Road.
ReplyDeleteGood points about the safety and traffic issues.
