Dave, Livingston is sort of the old road that Indian Head Highway replaced. That's why it sort of weaves in and out of the Indian Head Highway ROW.

The intersection is question is the one where Livingston is signed MD 373. The intersection is the intersection of MD210 and MD373. It's really rural.

You can't just plop down a strip mall in the middle of nowhere and call it "high end retail." In a car-dependent place, such an arrangement only works in the Favored Quarter. In the case of Pentagon City, it benefits greatly from being on top of a Metro station and somewhat centrally located. It attracts shoppers from all around the region. Tysons Galleria, Montgomery, and White Flint malls are in the Favored Quarter and attract shoppers from farther out in the suburbs and exurbs. It is no coincidence that Montgomery Mall thrives in North Bethesda/Potomac and not in Germantown on the fringe of the region.

These economic issues are on top of the land use and environmental problems with the proposal.
