[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to the (now old) renovation of downtown Silver Spring, they've done a nice job with downtown Rockville, which offers a good combination of housing and offices (including the county offices) and restaurants and public space and amenities (the library) and a little retail and Metro access, and isn't just a new-format shopping mall with a faux town built around it.

Pike and Rose falls into the latter category.   Lots of chain shopping and restaurants (not that i'm turning up my nose at that....), but limited public space and (unlike Rockville) poor access to public transportation.   It's incredible that Montgomery County would allow the developers to increase the density of that land so dramatically without improving the (life-threatening) access across Rockville Pike to the "North Bethesda" Metro stop.  Auto-only access also limits the appeal of otherwise decent Crown/Rio and Kentlands "town centers" in Gaithersburg.

[b]Does Montgomery County have any plans to revamp downtown Wheaton more comprehensively?[/b]    There's lots of commercial activity there, but man it looks shabby ....
