Can this intersection be made safer for pedestrians?
Dave Helms, Four Corners Resident and Pedestrian and Bicyclist Advocate, is proposing a better intersection at Route 355/Grosvenor Lane/Rock Creek Parkway due to the pedestrian who was struck and killed in the marked crosswalk across Rockville Pike/355 at Grosvenor Lane in North Bethesda on 11/20/20. You can see all the slides here, but below are a few that show the problems and solutions of this difficult, dangerous intersection.

I use this intersection all the time as both a pedestrian and cyclist to access Rock Creek Park, since I live at Grosvenor Park, and these designs are exactly what I’ve always wished we had. The only thing I would add is that the bike lanes should continue westward at least to Fleming Avenue to connect with the Bethesda Trolley Trail. Thanks for putting forth these suggestions!
