For Immediate Release: Friday, August 18, 2017


The Montgomery Planning Department is in the process of updating the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways and is seeking input through a recently launched digital interactive feedback map.

 

The Master Plan of Highways and Transitways Technical Update will:

 

  • More closely align the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways with the current County Road Code, which was amended in 2007 and 2013, to make roads more pedestrian-friendly and context-sensitive, and reflect a complete streets approach to road design.

     

  • Modify road classifications to conform to full range of 2007 County Road Code road types.

  • Correct inconsistencies in roads affecting multiple master plan areas.

  • Create a user-friendly web interface to allow the public to examine and search for existing and planned elements of the master-planned transportation system.
