Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett will announce the launch of a new, online tool that will make it easier for residents to decide when to safely venture out following a snowstorm. The map tool will show the progress of snow plows throughout the County and indicate when emergency roads, primary streets and neighborhood streets have been cleared.

My initial thought is what is the big deal? There is only one median opening shown in the rendering, and that will limit the cross traffic conflict, and the only problem would be potential conflicts with right turning vehicles. If this is such a problem, why not only built the road associated with the median opening connecting Woodglen and 355 as a county standard road, and build the other roads as private roads that function more like pedestrian plazas and provide building access but not through vehicle movement. Part of making this urban environment work is breaking up the blocks, and granted redeveloping this site at all does that, but if they can be made smaller, lets go for it! At the very least, I hope the spaces between the buildings can be built as pedestrian plazas with hardscaping, landscaping and to serve the same visual and practical function of having the streets for the pedestrian and bicycle realm.

Also, why is Foulger-Pratt enabled to keep building in MoCo without having fixed the SSTC out of their own pocket?

Thanks for reporting about North Bethesda Market II. I've been waiting and searching for nearly a year to hear some update. It was originally supposed to break ground "by the end of 2012," then "early 2013," then "by the end of 2013." At least now I won't be expecting any sort of activity on the site when I drive-by and still see Chili's there. At least FRIT is taking White Flint's redevelopment seriously. They were one of the last developers to propose development, but have overtaken most other developments with their massive Pike and Rose project that begins Phase II next year. What a shocker that the county's tallest and most iconic building is delayed indefinitely though...
