Ethan Allen

Ethan Allen road repairs start next week

Driving along Takoma Park's Ethan Allen Avenue can sometimes feel like driving along the surface of the moon (potholes, people, lots of potholes). So thankfully some much-needed repairs are less than a week away.

Crews will be repaving Ethan Allen Avenue between Sycamore and Elm avenues between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., starting Dec. 15 and going until Dec. 17.

Now, for the temporary pain: If you live along Ethan Allen Avenue, keep in mind that large equipment will be on the street and access to vehicles will be limited to one lane, so you'll have to ask a flagman to help you exit your driveway during work hours.

Also, some detours will be set up. When eastbound Ethan Allen Avenue is closed, drivers will have to take Sycamore and Elm avenues instead. When westbound Ethan Allen Avenue is closed, cars will be directed at Elm Avenue to Lincoln and Boyd avenues.

The city will drop $30,000 to $50,000 on Ethan Allen Avenue repairs while it's still trying to work out a deal with the Maryland State Highway Adminstration over ownership over the road.
