The latest of several road diets on Little Falls Parkway implemented - or, more accurately, inflicted upon the public - by Montgomery County has opened to vehicle traffic. In the newest iteration, a grass median has returned between a single travel lane in each direction between Arlington Road and Dorset Avenue. The latest road diet was overwhelmingly opposed by the surrounding communities, and by 73% of residents who took valuable time to testify before the Montgomery County Planning Board. Public input was thrown aside by the board, Montgomery Parks, and the Montgomery County Council, who put the steamroller in gear and floored the accelerator over the people who pay their salaries.

Doesn't matter what people want yet MC voters get what they vote for.
And why wasn't a bridge installed over the crosswalk from one side of the CCT to the other, which would have been a 100% solution? Because it's not about pro bike or safety but anti-car. This is the insanity of a deep Blue, one party cabal. The only way to change this is to STOP voting for these morons. They've destroyed a beautiful parkway and jammed the traffic up in the bargain. Thanks!
Another fine roadway ruined by the round robin council geniuses.
Indeed...it is a solution looking for a problem. Imagine wasting money trying to create traffic jams and duplicating a bike path that already exists steps away.
1:08 - Excellent post. Spot on. And by the way, this is a multi-million tax payer dollar fix for something that wasn't broken.
