With three days to go before the March 30 Montgomery County Planning Board hearing on the controversial and illegal Little Falls Parkway "road diet," signatures on a petition to reopen all four lanes of the road are nearing 3000 in total. Signs promoting the petition have popped up in virtually every neighborhood near the parkway.
Crowds descending on the Kenwood neighborhood that borders the parkway to see its famous cherry blossom trees couldn't miss the signs posted near the community's entrance. Many of those visitors found themselves stuck in cherry blossom-related traffic on the downsized parkway. TakeBackLFP.com is the address.
Hmmmmm, getting the signatures during the bloom is a 'sword that cuts both ways.' Peak travel, but peak visibility to the issue. I wonder how many bona fide locals and regular users that appear impacted really are.

And the folks spearheading that effort are suggesting that residents become equally vocal about the Tuckerman issue which is essentially the same crazy idea of taking an entire side of the road out of commission from 355 to Old Georgetown. Keep signing
ReplyDeleteOnly 3K signatures is a damning indictment of what most folks around here want. How many folks live in Bethesda?
