Exactly. That is why the new Bethesda Middle School will pretty much be in Kensington. There simply wasnt the space elsewhere in Bethesda. And concern for school overcrowding isn't stopping the apartments from being built in downtown Bethesda. The ratio MCPS uses for predicting families from apartments is flawed. Just wait 5-15 years from now. It will not be pretty at the Elementary and High School levels. Westbard does need re-development - but they need to be smarter about it! [/quote]

What would smarter redevelopment be at Westbard?[/quote]

Renovation and low density development (it is not close enough to mass transit except buses on already crowded River Rd). High density development there is going to add to these major problems.[/quote]

Be forewarned.  There is already lobbying to extend the Purple Line south and west of downtown Bethesda on the trail right of way.  As we know, this used to be a railroad, but it would effectively spell the end of the trail.  Proponents see extension of the line as a necessary element of really "unlocking" the development density potential not only of Westbard but also of the Sangamore area.[/quote]
