BETHESDA ST. ELMO-CORDELL GARAGE STAIRCASE BARRICADED (PHOTOS)


ST. ELMO STAIRS
OUT OF SERVICE,
USE CORDELL
STAIRCASE

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

A minor update on the renovations at Montgomery County public parking garage:  The staircase on the St. Elmo side is currently closed for repairs.  A taped-up sign directs parking patrons to use the stairs on the Cordell Avenue side.

This isn't really that big of a deal, as disabled drivers wouldn't use the stairs, anyway [though they would use the elevator, which is only partially operating, so that could be a big deal].  But I bring it to your attention because, someone might enter on the Cordell side, but park on the St. Elmo side.  Not knowing the situation, they might expect to quickly run down the stairs to whatever meeting they're late for, and they'd be in for a shock.


So if your destination is on St. Elmo, plan ahead to take a few extra minutes to walk the long way out.
