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.
