Lot 31

Woodmont Ave. - Bethesda Ave. Parking Lot Redevelopment

The downtown Bethesda area surrounding Lot 31 has experienced significant growth over the last decade.  This growth has resulted in a shortage of parking in this area.  In an effort to increase parking, Montgomery County Division of Parking (MCDOT) has entered into a joint development partnership that will bring a mixed-use development with 940 new public parking spaces to downtown Bethesda.

Information

On or around April 1, 2012, Montgomery County Division of Parking will close the  Woodmont Avenue-Elm Street Parking Lot (public parking lot 31 and 31A).  279 parking spaces will be closed for approximately 30 months.

Short-term parkers with disabilities will be accommodated as close as possible to Lot 31.  

Long-term parkers will need to use other parking facilities that require walking or use of the FREE Bethesda Circulator.

103 short-term parking spaces and 9 ADA parking spaces will be added to the Bethesda-Elm Street parking garage by exchanging the current long-term spaces for these short-term spaces.

Long-term parking spaces are available at the Woodmont Avenue-Old Georgetown Road Garage and the Auburn-Del Ray Avenue Garage.

Please check back for periodic updates on this project.
