[quote=Anonymous]A petition is now online that asks the Montgomery County Council to convert four public parking lots into parks. The four lots are on the eastern side of Wisconsin Avenue and serve the Woodmont Triangle / East Bethesda areas (lots 25 and 44) and the Apex Building / Farm Womens Market / Town of Chevy Chase area (lots 24 and 10).
If we don't act now, these lots will follow the same path that lot 31 did: the County will sell the land to a developer and parking will be pushed below ground. 
After significant lobbying efforts, some Councilmembers are now working on proposals to fund the inevitable push of parking underground while converting the topside into public parks rather than private development. However, Council President Berliner cautioned that there needs to be broad public support before it moves forward to the full Council.

If you live in the Bethesda area, please consider signing.  The Bethesda/Chevy Chase already has so few public green spaces relative to DC.[/quote]
