A few blocks of the Woodmont Triangle and Bethesda Row areas are closed to provide restaurant seating. The Bethesda Urban Partnership is behind the “Streetery” concept to allow some hopefully safer pandemic seating options for diners in greater Bethesdonia.
The idea is to get takeout and go eat it at one of the more spread-out street tables. Tables will be cleaned after each use.
The ad hoc pedestrian zone is a laudable effort and it hopefully provides a safe, fun option for diners in Bethesda (again, hopefully on both counts). A pedestrian zone in Bethesda where traffic is limited to provide permanent outdoor seating would be appealing, but we shall see how the current effort works out…
