Virtual meeting on Cheltenham Bikeway in Bethesda tonight at 6:30 PM


The Montgomery County Department of Transportation will host a virtual public meeting regarding the proposed Cheltenham Drive Bikeway project in downtown Bethesda tonight, June 10, 2026, at 6:30 PM. MCDOT will present the project design, estimated cost, and timeline. The agency will also provide an opportunity for public testimony and questions. In its meeting announcement, MCDOT stresses that the final project design can still be altered based upon the feedback it receives from the public tonight. 

Residents and other stakeholders who cannot participate tonight may still submit written testimony by this Friday, June 12. Written testimony will be given the same weight as oral testimony. To find out how to join tonight's meeting, or to submit written comments, visit the meeting announcement website online.

Again. Perfect example. Opportunity for public comment and questions changes nothing. These people will be heard but not heeded if that make sense. This project will happen on the tax payer dime no matter how many people object. Bike lanes everywhere that are never used and now every major road will have dedicated bus lanes. Thanks voters!

Just what Bethesda needs, more Moribike lanes

Instead of fixing potholes they are creating traffic nightmares!

This is a good idea to connect the Woodmont bike lanes across Wisconsin to East Bethesda. A network of separated bike lanes is not very useful unless it connects many destinations. These are not heavily traveled roads, so lane reduction is not a big deal, given how much more the network becomes. JAC needs to get out of his or her car and give it a try sometime.

more anti-business policies and less parking, joe and the juice and the businesses along the street got screwed, all the parking along the street taken up by unused bike lanes.

4:14 - You must have missed when I said I'm a power walker and log upwards of 30 miles per week. This has nothing to do with exercise. This is anti-car.
