As mentioned above, to accommodate the construction of the Purple Line station.[/quote]

I mean, that may be part of it but the traffic patterns for SSIMS are a nightmare. If you are coming from DTSS or just from Dale (where many SSIMS families live), trying to get into the parking lot is a nightmare. [/quote]

Here's info about the new station:  http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/Web-2016/Here-Are-the-Latest-Designs-for-Montgomery-Countys-Purple-Line-Stations/index.php?cparticle=7&siarticle=6

You can kind of see it in the drawing in the link, but the upper parking lot will open onto Dale Dr., and the lower parking lot will be accessible from Wayne. The trees are supposed to be replanted once the construction is finished next year, but of course they won't be the same mature trees that were there before.  They're supposed to net a few more parking spaces from the new construction.[/quote]

Here's another view of how the parking lots will be reconfigured:
