The new street lamps along the realigned Westbard Avenue and "Brookside Drive" in Bethesda have been activated. Finally, there is some light for pedestrians walking in this area between Westbard, Ridgefield Road and River Road after dark. New traffic signals and pedestrian crossing signals are still dark, and the new street segments are not yet open to vehicular traffic. Pedestrian crossing controls are still boxed up, as you can see here. Intriguing thought: Was the bizarre decision to name the last segment of the realigned Westbard Avenue "Brookside Drive" where it meets River Road a forward-thinking move to allow future developments on that block to market themselves with that coveted Kenwood street address?
any update on the reopening? Very little faith this will open by Thanksgiving
