[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no plans for bike lanes on Norfolk Avenue. The original plan was for a "shared street", where people walk, bike, and drive slowly on the same street. The question now is whether the Norfolk Avenue streetery should remain as is, or whether people should be allowed to drive on/through the streetery.

This is false.

That plan is from 2006. It has been superseded by multiple other plans, including the Bethesda downtown plan (2017) and the bicycle master plan (2018).[/quote]
The “bicycle master plan” is not a real planning document. For example, it calls for adding residential density near regional parks. [/quote]

The Bicycle Master Plan is as real a planning document as the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways. The County Council adopted it, M-NCPPC approved it. There will also be, at some point, a Pedestrian Master Plan, which when adopted/approved will also be a real planning document.

Congratulations on your Gish Gallop skills.[/quote]
It’s as relevant as real of a planning document as the county’s Climate Action Plan is a real document. Meaning, it’s not real. [/quote]

I think you don't understand how planning works in Montgomery County. [/quote]
I understand exactly how it works. When they want to justify something they will point to the bicycle master plan and if they want to do something that contradicts it they will just ignore it. [/quote]
