Street signs for internal roadways have been installed at the new Westbard Square development in Bethesda. Signs are now in place for Zenith Overlook - which runs from Westbard Avenue back to the rear parking garage driveway - and Topaz Lane, which runs parallel to Westbard and will be behind the "Canal House" building and future apartments. Neither name has any local significance. While most of the historic names in the Westbard sector plan area are more related to River Road than Westbard Avenue, there were possibilities such as "Posey," for the farm of Peter Posey that made up most of the area around the Westbard Square development, or "Tauber," for the late Dr. Laszlo Tauber who developed the original Westwood Shopping Center.

The developer and the County have built a tight, congested, and ugly urban housing in a suburban area. Makes no sense to me.
With HORRIBLE street names to boot! Topaz?
When you look at the entirety of the property, the vast majority of the space will be these new million dollar townhomes and the apartments.
Lookout Alley would be a befitting street sign.
Get a bigger violin, maybe someone will care.
