I ...I use Leland a lot, so thanks for the bad news. I use it primarily because the alternative is the horrible Bradley/Wisconsin corner which takes about 3 lights to get through to turn on Bradley due to the parking meters along Wisconsin. The other alternative is taking Bethesda Ave to Arlington, with traffic and more lights. If MoCo Transportation would improve either of these paths, it would be less neccessary to put up the cones. This just added another 10 minutes to my Bethesda chores. Now I will be less inclined to use/go to that corner of Bethesda/Wisconsin Ave. weskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558846585517085544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-32296588597830476172017-07-28T10:38:10.392-07:002017-07-28T10:38:10.392-07:00Poor Dyer...

He mentioned they were going to remove the stop sign and place a yield sign. But thankfully they decided to leave the stop sign instead. Also he mentioned that they are in the process of redoing the entire midblock crosswalk. Did not say how or why, any ideas on future plans?<br />Now more cars are making an illegal right turn at the next street into oncoming traffic.

There were no incidents either. <br /><br />They need to reopen this ASAP. What a hideous way to deal with a pedestrian area.
