[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a ploy by Chevy Chase to prevent any devleopment over there.

I use the parks all the time in Bethesda since we ahve small children. MoCo needs to fix up the current parks first. Freeland (between Giant and Bethesda Library) has really poor space utilization. The park behind Air Rights is falling apart. Veteran's park is basically all paved over. Battery Park lacks parking.

If they want to do a park properly, take over the Farm Women's Market, integrate it with the parking lot behind it, and reconfigure the combined area as an open space for festivals along with a playground, and community center in the FWM building. I realize the petition is slighly related to that land, but not in the way that's a good use of it.[/quote]

Your ideas have all been suggested to the County, however they are intent on GIVING AWAY development rights without extracting added value for residents.  The Freeland Park was identified as "underutilized" in the Bethesda plan.  [/quote]
