Virtual Public Hearing on the Proposed Abandonment (AB 785) of a Public Right of Way Northfield Road in Bethesda
For Immediate Release: Wednesday, July 19, 2023
On Monday, July 24, starting at 1 p.m., the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold a virtual public hearing to discuss the abandonment of a public right of way located at the end of Northfield Road in Bethesda.
The abandonment case was petitioned by Bradley and Sophie Buslik (the “Applicant”). At an upcoming virtual public hearing, residents will have an opportunity to present oral and/or written comments concerning the abandonment of public right of way covering an approximately 3,405 S.F. parcel that abuts property owned by the Applicant. The petition seeks to abandon the Public Right of Way on the basis that there is no current or anticipated future public use of the parcel.
Online registration is required by 5 p.m., Friday, July 21 to attend. On the morning of the hearing, an email with a Zoom link will be sent to registrants. Written testimony carries the same weight as oral testimony. Testimony and information provided will become a matter of public record. Those previously registered to attend the hearing are not required to re-register.
