I think the main issue is that the council tanked a proposed mixed use project to use the land for what will most likely become a single use county office building built with tons of parking for employees who will most likely drive to work, stay in their building and leave at night.

So, rather than making the most walkable portion of Wheaton more vibrant we'll have a black hole of a locked building after 5:30 pm. Kinda exactly like what the mid-county services building is now. Basically what happened is the council decided that they could take the best land in Wheaton for their new Parks and Planning office and pass it off as "redevelopment." It's a travesty, but unfortunately the County east of the western redline corridor just doesn't have the political power (rich residents) to drive development. Or perhaps we just don't have representation by the one political aide on the counsel (Sesker) who apparently makes all the decisions for the council.
