A child was involved in a pedestrian collision last week on Arlington Road and Edgemoor Lane, near Bethesda Elementary School, a Montgomery County police spokeswoman said. The incident has sparked debate about child safety on and near busy streets in Bethesda.
Details surrounding the accident remain unclear. A police report was not immediately available. The child wasn't injured, said Officer Rebecca Innocenti, a county police spokeswoman.

Thanks to Royce Hanson, and the Planning Board, this is their plan for Montgomery County. When Hanson was chair of the Planning Board he pushed this: make driving so uncomfortable that people will be forced out of their cars. The current Planning Board has embraced that philosophy. What did people think would happen when the roads become so over-crowded? Accidents caused by such 'busy streets' are part of the plan initiated by Dr. Hanson.
ReplyDeleteI'm not following the logic. If we were actually all being forced out of our cars, wouldn't the roads become under-crowded?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Mar 7, good point. In reality, the idea is to keep topping it off with more development. As Rose Krasnow, the current head of Development Review at the Planning Department has said, every asphalt parking area will be turned into high-density development. Except in Potomac and the Ag Reserve. Out in Potomac, as long as they keep making their bribes, whoops, I mean 'campaign contributions' to councilmembers, they won't be subject to this 'planning.'
