Here's a look at the lobby entrance at The Charles, the new apartment tower at 7342 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda. Marble baseboard can be seen on the interior walls of the lobby. The Greystar development is now leasing. According to the Greystar website, most units will be available for move-in by January or February, with a smaller number coming online in December.

I'm sorry to upset all the bike lane lovers here. But it's been so long that this project has been underway and lanes blocked off that folks may not even realize that the right turn lane onto SB Wisconsin Ave is gone completely. Yep. The one block bike lane, that no one ever uses, ever, took its place. How many cars and busses turn right at that intersection? Too many to make Montgomery Ave a smooth commute your can be assured of that. And some still think these dedicated lanes are pro bike. No, they're anti-car. Wake up.
Man, get a grip. Part of living in a vibrant community is bike lanes, walking paths, and public gathering spots. Yes, your commute out of Bethesda may take a bit longer. But it is a small price to pay. Downtown Bethesda has increasingly become a concrete jungle that is overburdened by cars driving in 5-minute increments from one parking lot to the next. This is why your commute takes so long- far too many cars when walking or biking would suffice. We are facing an obesity rate in Montgomery County, MD, of 24.2% (2022), and for school-age children, the rate is 14.1%. This isn't being anti-car- it's providing ways for others to live with a higher quality of life. I can't begin to fathom how you can drone on and on about bike lanes on Wisconsin, Old Georgetown and Little Falls Road. It is not being pro or anti-car to want bike lanes to exist to allow people to travel by bike from one part of the city ot another using these roads, and if your commute is a bit less efficient, well so be it.
8:21 - it's not about "get a grip". these are in fact commuter routes that need to move traffic efficiently. the roads were designed for cars not bikes. the obesity epidemic? you're right and we agree there. I walk 30 miles every week. there's the trolley trail and capital crescent that runs to Georgetown and connects to points beyond that's great for walking and biking. these bike lanes are not only more dangerous for all, they aren't used. that's my take and others have theirs.
@8:21 Don't you ever get tired of dictating to people how we all should live our lives? If you want to practice some justified authoritarian skills, lobby that ALL SNAP/Welfare recipients have access to only healthy foods and stop spending taxpayer dollars on sodas, snacks & garbage processed foods.
