A Public Safety Message to B-CC Area Residents from the Montgomery County Police Department

The 2nd District (Bethesda) has been experiencing a recent rash of residential burglaries, several where the suspect has used force to gain entry into homes. In the last two weeks, we have arrested two separate suspects. Unfortunately, after the last arrest, we had another burglary occur that same night which means there are still some criminals active in our district.

We continue to focus resources on these burglaries and have updated response procedures for residential alarms occurring where the burglaries are occurring. It is important that I reiterate my message that residents must be our eyes and ears. If you see anyone entering backyards that don’t belong there, please call us immediately, and we will respond with lights and sirens. If you see a suspicious car in your neighborhood, please make note of the tag number and a description of the vehicle for us.

We will continue to provide a comprehensive on-scene response and follow up by our detective unit for each and every case until this trend is stopped. Thank you in advance for keeping a watch over your neighborhoods.

Captain David Falcinelli
Commander – 2nd District

Rte. 355-Cedar Lane Intersection Lanes to be Closed for Resurfacing

The final phase 7of roadwork for the MD 355/Rockville Pike-Cedar Lane-West Cedar Lane intersection-widening project in Montgomery County will start in early October. The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration will pave all turn lanes and through lanes at the intersection. 
 
The work will require individual lanes to be closed on MD 355, weekdays, 9 am-3 pm and Sundays through Thursdays, 8 pm-5 am. Drivers will be able to use the remaining open lanes, but the closures undoubtedly will cause congestion. Drivers should watch for the orange construction signs, cones, barrels and fencing.

Bikers and pedestrians will be able to safely pass through the work zone by following signage that directs them around closed paths or sections of sidewalk. 
Weather permitting, the work will be completed by late fall.

Bethesda Fire Department Annual Open House

The Bethesda Fire Department (corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Bradley Boulevard) invites area residents to attend its annual open house this Saturday, September 24, from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm, and help the fire department celebrate 90 years of service to the community. 
There will be activities for kids and adults, fire safety information, Ronald McDonald, free food and drink and games. You and your family also can meet fire personnel and see fire equipment up close. 

Public hearing on Purple Line Environmental Impact

There will be a public hearing on the potential environmental impact of the proposed Bethesda-New Carrollton Purple Line on October 16, 7 pm, in Silver Spring at the Civic Building auditorium, 1 Veterans Place. Anyone wanting to comment on the project, this is your chance. 

Before the hearing begins, there will be a poster session from 6 to 7 pm, when the public can review exhibits and ask general questions of the Maryland Transit Administration’s representatives.

The formal hearing will begin with agency statements at 7, followed by public testimony. Note that a time limit of three minutes per speaker may be set, depending on the number of speakers, to ensure that all interested parties have an opportunity to voice their views.  The public hearings will be recorded and transcribed.
