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.
ReplyDeleteGet a bigger violin, maybe someone will care.
DeleteWith HORRIBLE street names to boot! Topaz?
ReplyDeleteFair point
DeleteWhen you look at the entirety of the property, the vast majority of the space will be these new million dollar townhomes and the apartments.
ReplyDeleteLookout Alley would be a befitting street sign.
ReplyDeleteThese new houses and the retail spaces will make wonderful spots for all of the homeless people the Felon in charge will dump, when he evicts them from Federal property in DC.
ReplyDeleteMake room for their arrival.
