Montgomery making Conn. Ave. more like a freeway

This line from Greater Greater Washington by David Alpert caught my attention.

"In Montgomery County's DOT and the office of the County Executive, however, no transportation idea less than 50 years old seems welcome."

Freeway like designs only make sense when bike/peds are prohibited I will also assert that freeway like designs on local streets is a major contributing factor to why people think bikes do not belong on the road. What ever happened to our #1 policy ratting and Complete Streets?

Isn't Montgomery County the least concern about their percentage of fatalities that are bike/ped?
