Plans for the Cheltenham Drive Bikeway in downtown Bethesda are now scheduled to be reviewed by the Montgomery County Planning Board at their December 11, 2025 public meeting. The County Department of Transportation has filed a Mandatory Referral application with the Planning Department for one-way, separated bike lanes on both sides of Cheltenham, between Woodmont Avenue and Tilbury Street. Mandatory Referral means that commissioners cannot stop or reject the project, but only make recommendations and suggestions based upon public comment, staff advice, and their own expertise. This is standard procedure for government projects. Residents or other stakeholders with questions regarding this project may call Eli Glazier at the Planning Department at 301-495-4548.

In other words, the cake is already baked. Pull the lever for anybody with a D next to their name no matter what. This is never the elected officials fault but those who elect them. Good job! Bethesda and surrounding is slowly being destroyed. Cars are evil here period end of story. Glenn Youngkin is about to cut the ribbon on a massive improvement to the Tyson's corridor on 495 and we're adding bike lanes everywhere, that aren't used, even on River Road.
Another one of these two-block "projects," like the white elephant along Montgomery Lane, between Woodmont and Waverly. Can we start a pool on (A) how long it will take to complete once construction begins (B) how many bicyclists any of us will ever see using it (C) what this boondoggle will cost?
