A contractor installed safety bollards in front of the 7-Eleven store at 7820 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda yesterday. Starting at 6:30 AM Tuesday, men removed the existing parking blocks from the parking spaces across the storefront. Next, they drilled holes in the pavement for the bollards, which were installed by the afternoon. The parking lot closed briefly to complete the work.
Clearly to deter a car crashing through for a smash and grab.
ReplyDeleteConvince me that 7-Elevens aren't more problematic and troublesome than they're worth. They are magnets for miscreants. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteThey need bollards to protect that wall which gets knocked over every other year.

ReplyDeleteAt least it will be more difficult for those shiftless trifling thugs to get their ATM machine.
ReplyDeleteEven more noise pollution during the installation. Living at Fairmont Plaza, immediately across the street, is tough.
