Bethesda Downtown Sector plan will compromise the quality of everyday life in neighborhoods near downtown Bethesda.

The plan for Bethesda Downtown is damaging to Bethesda. We are already overcrowded and traffic is gridlock.

If the Bethesda Sector Plan is implemented in its current form, this area will no longer be livable,

Irrational decisions (see Washington Post, 10/30, Section C4: "Half-baked Bethesda plan" suggest politicians & officials bed with developers

Our county council's continuing disregard for constituents, not limited to the downtown Bethesda plan, is a disgrace. Personally I prefer direct recall of the inept members, but term limits seem to be the only horse running.

This will significantly impact local residence environment. Government interest is put first than a human living experience.

How many more people can live in Bethesda??? The density is already killing the neighborhood.

Impact on nearby neighborhoods is of great concern along with traffic and schools issues. Buffer zones are not being respected

East Bethesda is a small but lovely, walkable community. We need your help to make sure it remains that way. We need to keep green spaces, have wide sidewalks so people can walk safely, and plenty of street trees. Traffic on Wisconsin Avenue is already congested, and high density buildings will only exacerbate the problem .

Very concerned about construction hazards, traffic gridlock, large winter shadows of tall buildings impacting many Ch Ch Town and other Bethesda residents who experience Seasonal Affective Disorder.

MC Council should listen to and follow the wishes of its residents and electorate.

Pursuing the canyon strategy is outrageous. Have you seen Tysons? Rosslyn? I have been living in a construction zone for 30 years. Enough encroachment on our quality of life! Enough!

Thank you for saving our park, Battery Lane Park, from being destroyed by a road running through it!

I understand that many interests need to be considered and balanced. These recommendations are consistent with the kind of balance we need.

This Plan needs to be reworked with citizens' involvement and feedback.

Please carefully consider the impacts on traffic, schools, and the general quality of life for the citizens (voters) in the area of downtown Bethesda.
