MCDOT Working to Make White Flint Friendlier to Pedestrians and Bicyclists

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, February 1, 2017

At the request of the White Flint Downtown Advisory Committee, MCDOT recently installed a new, all-way stop at Marinelli Road and Citadel Avenue that has helped to improve pedestrian safety. Other Committee-requested improvements made by MCDOT include all-way stops at Old Georgetown Road and Nebel Street and at Marinelli Road and Nebel Street.

 

To further enhance walkability and bikeability in White Flint, MCDOT has also added:

 

• A new crosswalk and bumpouts at Citadel Avenue and Old Georgetown Road.

• Protected bike lanes and improved crosswalks on Woodglen Drive.

• Protected bike lanes and improved crosswalks along Nebel Street.

• Sidewalks and urban streetlights along the newly completed Chapman Avenue.

 

MCDOT’s Western Workaround project will help make it easier for people to get around in White Flint by transforming the existing super blocks into smaller, more “walkable” streets.

"MCDOT is committed to transforming White Flint into a pedestrian-friendly community where residents and visitors can walk to work, shops and transit," said MCDOT Director Al Roshdieh.
