Purple Line: Waiting Purple Line: Waiting Purple Line: Waiting Purple Line: Waiting for the Next Reportfor the Next Reportfor the Next Reportfor the Next Report
By David Saltzman, 1st Vice President
The Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for the Purple
Line from the Maryland Transit
Administration (MTA) is currently
scheduled for release on October
17th. The DEIS will weigh all
possible routes for a proposed
transit system and the various
light rail and bus alternatives. It
will attempt to address all impacts
each alternative may have along
its entire route including air
quality, water quality, noise,
deforestation, and other issues
such as the cascading effects on
traffic on local roads.
At the September 17th EBCA
general membership meeting, I
delivered a presentation outlining
the system and the county’s efforts
to obtain public input on its design.
I noted the various alternatives
under consideration and their
prospective costs. I urged residents
to visit the MTA’s website, which
contains a tremendous amount of
useful information, including maps
and cross-section drawings for the
various alternatives online at
www.bi-countytransitway.com. You
will also be able to download the
DEIS from this site.
I expressed that the county and
MTA appear biased toward
building a light rail system on the
Master Plan Alignment, which is
presently the trail that runs across
the back of our neighborhood. I
gave my opinion that I felt the
county and MTA appeared to be
devoting considerably less energy
to studying alternatives to this.
Additionally, I noted that almost
no study has been done regarding
the sufficiency of the proposed 10-
foot wide trail that would run
alongside the rail lines, which I
believe is an acute issue in light of
overcrowding issues on the Capital
Crescent Trail, as well as the
county planning board’s recent
decision to substitute the long-
planned bike path that was to run
in parkland along the Inter County
Connector with a bike lane along
crowded urban streets.
The EBCA’s position is to oppose
any development that degrades or
inhibits our use of the Georgetown
Branch Trail. Presently, it appears
that the construction of a light rail
system or bus system on the trail
would degrade its use significantly.
EBCA has not taken a position on
any of the other alignments. We

Public Safety is important to us
all. From daily activities like
dealing with cut-through traffic to
more rare occasions of major crime,
we are all impacted as it ultimately
affects our quality of life. Because
of the recent rash of major crimes
in the nearby vicinity, the
Montgomery County Police
Department has provided more
information on keeping our
neighborhoods safe. It all comes
down to trusting your instincts and
reporting suspicious activity. A
critical part of crime deterrence is
reducing opportunity for criminals
by locking cars and houses and
keeping an eye out for neighbors.
You’ll see more specifics in our
article on this very subject.
Another part of public safety is
fire prevention. October is fire
safety month. This is a great time
to publically thank those East
Bethesda residents who serve on
volunteer fire boards or are part of
the volunteer rescue squads that
respond to all kinds of calls. And,
since it is fire safety month, don’t
forget to use this opportunity to
check smoke detectors.
In East Bethesda, we do our best
to keep people informed by sending
out the monthly newsletter and
posting items on the website or to
our email list. It is exciting to
announce that our website,
www.ebca.org, has gotten a

With the days getting shorter
and Halloween just around the
corner, it is a good time to
remember that “safety never takes
a holiday.” One of the most
effective ways to prevent crime is
simply to watch out for our
neighbors and pay attention to the
community we know best. Trust
your instincts and call the police to
report any suspicious activity. The
Montgomery County Police non-
emergency number is 301-279-
8000. Here are some home safety
tips they offer.
Stay alert to suspicious-looking
couriers delivering packages to you
or your neighbors. Also, many con
artists take advantage of holiday
generosity by going door-to-door.
Ask for identification and get
specifics to how and where the
donations will be spent or used. If
you feel uncomfortable, just say "no
thank you" and shut the door.
Effective home security starts
with properly locked doors and
windows and visible, well-lighted
entryways. Lighting is one of the
most cost-effective deterrents to
burglary. Indoor-lighting gives the
impression that a home is
occupied. If you are going to be
away from your home, consider
using automatic timers to switch
interior lights on at preset times.
Outdoor lighting can eliminate
hiding places. Install exterior
lighting near porches, rear and
side driveways, garage doors, and
all other points of entry.
Entryways to your home should
always be well lighted. Place lights
out of reach from the ground so the
bulbs cannot be removed or broken.
Aim some lights away from the
house so you can see if anyone is
approaching, or install motion-
sensing lights.
The Montgomery County Police
has seen an increase recently in
thefts from automobiles and thefts
of automobile parts. Some of these
thefts are preventable by taking
very simple, yet effective steps, and
they are asking for your help. Most
important, lock your car doors and
close the windows completely. An
unlocked door or open window is an
invitation to a thief to take any
property in your vehicle.
In addition, take with you or lock
in your trunk any electronic
equipment and remove GPS
systems. Whenever possible, park
in well lit, populated areas.

By our count, this is the 13th
year of the EBCA Halloween
Parade. Be sure to mark your
calendars for Sunday, October 26th
from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. for this
spook-tacular display of costumes
and fun. Everyone will gather at
Chase Park at 3:00 p.m. begin the
parade down Chase Avenue toward
Lynnbrook Park. Even if you are
not walking in the parade, it is
quite a site to watch the
procession. Thanks to all our
neighbors on Chase Avenue for
moving their vehicles and cheering
us on.
Just like last year, this event will
also be a chance to give back to the
community. We will be collecting
food for Bethesda Help
(www.bethesdahelp.org), an all-
volunteer, non-profit organization
that offers immediate short-term
financial and transportation
assistance and emergency food
deliveries to residents of southern
Montgomery County who are in
financial crisis. As such, they are
always looking for food donations
to their pantry including canned
goods (fruits, vegetables, pasta
sauce, beans, soups, fish and
meat), pasta, rice, peanut butter,
jam, and breakfast cereals. No
glass or oversized items, please.
There will be a drop-off point at
Chase Avenue Park as well as
Lynnbrook Park.
More information about all of the
Halloween events will be on our
website, www.ebca.org. If you are
interested in helping out with the
event, please send and email to

EBCA recently mailed a School
Assignment Survey to all
households in the neighborhood.
This comes as Montgomery County
Public Schools (MCPS) is reviewing
the current school assignments for
our area. We will not have a good
sense of what that means for our
residents until recommendations
are made from MCPS to the Board
of Education in mid to late October.
In the meantime, EBCA is
interested in collecting information
from residents on current
preferences. This will help inform
the Education Committee and the
Executive Committee of EBCA.
The results of the survey will be
shared with the East Bethesda
Community and a summary of
East Bethesda's elementary school
preference will be shared with
MCPS and the Board of Education.
We anticipate having Education
Committee meetings in the coming
weeks that will be open to any
neighbors interested in attending.
We will examine the data collected
and try to gather information that
will be useful in any discussion of
the future assignments for our
neighborhood.
Whether or not you have children
currently in public elementary
schools and even if you do not have
a strong preference, it is important
to share your views. The higher the
response to the survey, the more
forceful a case EBCA will be able to
make when communicating with
the county. Once we have more
information on what MCPS is
considering, we will move forward
accordingly.
The survey can also be found on
our website, www.ebca.org. Please
complete either the paper version
or the online version but not both.
If you have questions, please
contact Monica Hayes, EBCA
Education Committee Chair, at
[email protected]. Thanks for
your cooperation on this very
important community issue.

As the leaves begin to change colors and the lazy days of summer become a fading memory, now is the perfect
time to tackle that “hot spot” in your house. You know, that place where you pile all the mail, school forms,
shopping lists, and other “to-do” items. Perhaps your EBCA membership form is sitting in that pile as something
you’ve been meaning to do? Whether the form has made its way to that all important pile or not, we need for you to
contribute your annual membership of $15 per member for the year beginning July 1st. Whether you’re new to the
neighborhood or you’ve spent your whole life here, whether you were a member last year or just never got around
to joining, the EBCA welcomes you to join our association. The EBCA is only as good as its members.
As a member, you are entitled to vote on the issues raised at the EBCA general meetings, will be kept up to date
on the important issues affecting our neighborhood, including, for example, the Purple Line and our public school
assignment, and are encouraged to participate in our numerous social events, such as the upcoming Halloween
Parade, scheduled for October 26th.
If you have questions about membership, would like to confirm whether you’ve paid your dues or would like to
volunteer to be a part of the Membership Committee, please contact Rebecca Fayed by email at
[email protected] or by phone at 301-564-1499.

The Neighborhood Roundup Fire Safety Month
The Chevy Cha se F i r e
Department will hold its annual
Open House from 10:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October
11th. The open house will feature
supervised fire engine rides for
c h i l d r e n a n d a d u l t s ,
demonstrations by members of
specialized teams, clown, fire truck
s l ide , Safety House , and
refreshments. October is also Fire
Safety Month so do not forget to
check your smoke detectors and
replace batteries.
Newsletter Sponsorship Help
We are now publishing our
newsletter monthly thanks in great
part to the work of David
Kauffman who has been soliciting
and maintaining our sponsors for
the past several years. A
description of the newsletter
sponsorship program and a set of
rates are ready, but we need a new
neighbor to manage this endeavor
as David is now ready to move on.
Please contact [email protected]
if you might have a few hours a
month to lend to this program.
Changes in Montgomery
County Government?
The Montgomery County Charter
Review Commission will hold a
public forum on Monday, October
6th from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in
the 7th Floor Hearing Room at the
Council Office Building in
Rockville. The Commission is
seeking comments on a variety of
issues to determine if the current
system of County Government
adequately addresses the needs of
County residents. Specifically, the
Commission would like community
input on the following issues: (1)
whether the Charter should be
amended to allow for an Executive-
nominated, Council-confirmed
Inspector General; and (2) whether
certain special taxing districts
should be excluded from the
Charter’s limit on the growth of the
property tax revenue to the rate of
inflation. Those wishing to present
their opinions on the issues listed
above or who are interested in
recommending additional issues for
the Commission to study should
sign up to speak on or before
October 5th by contacting Marie
Jean-Paul at 240-777-7928 or
charterreview.commission@montgo
merycountymd.gov.
Need a Ride?
Would you like to attend EBCA
meetings but need a ride? Contact
[email protected] ahead of time
and we’ll make sure you get to the
meeting!
Permit Parking on Your Block?
A number of neighbors have
inquired about obtaining permit
parking for their streets so that
only EBCA residents could legally
park on the street during specified
hours, preventing commuters and
others from parking on our streets.
If your street does not currently
have a sign, you may petition other
houses on your block, a majority
being required to approve
permitted parking. Parking
stickers for permitted areas may be
obtained at the parking office in
the Cheltenham parking garage.
If you live on the 4300 block of
Chestnut Street and are interested
in this, please contact Ellen Belkin
at [email protected] or 301-
986-0352. If you have general
questions about the program,
contact Traffic Operations at
mcdot.trafficops@montgomerycoun
tymd.gov or 240-777-6000.
Be a Mentor
You can make a difference for an
at-risk 9th grader who needs
encouragement and guidance A
mentor is an experienced advisor
and supporter; somebody who
watches over and fosters the
progress of a younger, less
experienced person. For this
program, volunteers are needed
once a week, for an hour, after
school during the school year, plus
a coaching session once a month.
Meetings take place at Bethesda-
Chevy Chase High School and the
next training is October 13th at
2:45 p.m. For more information,
contact Debbie Newman at
240-497-6356 or 301-529-0702.
will likely issue a statement to the
county and the MTA during the
public comment period after the
DEIS is issued. I urge residents
who feel strongly about the project,
whether pro or con, to do the same.
Additional resources you may wish
to consider are the following
websites. These are from groups
who oppose the use of the trail for
mass transit:
