The Montgomery County Department of Transportation is asking residents to share their thoughts on the Bethesda Streetery on Norfolk Ave via an online survey. The Streetery was created in 2020 to allow additional restaurant seating outdoors in downtown Bethesda. A sample question from the survey can be seen below:
“What is your preference for the future of Norfolk Ave?
- Remove the Streetery and go back to the way it was before.
- Keep the Streetery on Norfolk Avenue as it currently exists.
- Be more ambitious within the current extents (Del Ray Avenue to St. Elmo Avenue), re-envisioning the design to something more permanent.
- Be more ambitious and go beyond the current extents, re-envisioning the design to something more permanent and extending it further along Norfolk Avenue (potentially extending to Rugby Avenue and Woodmont Avenue).”
“The map on this page shows the current extent of the Streetery on Norfolk Avenue in red (between Del Ray Avenue and St Elmo Avenue). The project study area is shown with a dotted black line. The study area extends along Norfolk Avenue from Rugby Avenue to Woodmont Avenue. The study area also includes cross streets, approximately 100 feet in both directions from Norfolk Avenue.”
Per MCDOT: Have you been to the Streetery on Norfolk Avenue between Del Ray Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue in downtown Bethesda? Montgomery County is thinking about the future of this street and wants to hear from you. Please share your thoughts on the online survey so that MCDOT can make informed decisions with our community’s feedback in mind. The survey will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes of your time.
