For Immediate Release: Tuesday, November 7, 2023

On Tuesday, Nov. 28, starting at 7 p.m., the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold a virtual public hearing to discuss the latest plans for the Heritage Triangle Trail Project in Sandy Spring. The public will have an opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions.

The Heritage Triangle Trail is a project to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety along Dr. Bird (MD. 182) and Norwood Roads. The Dr. Bird Road section is planned to run along the east side of Dr. Bird Road (MD 182) from Sandy Spring Road (MD 108) to the current terminus of an existing shared use path located approximately 1,400 feet south of MD 108. The Norwood Road section is planned to run along the east side of Norwood Road from just north of the driveway to the Adventure Park at Sandy Spring to just south of Ednor Road, where it will tie into an existing shared use path approximately 1,700 ft. south of the Adventure Park. Public input is encouraged and may influence the design of this project.

Online registration is required to attend virtually. On the morning of the meeting, an invitation to participate in this meeting will be emailed to registrants.

Prior to the meeting, the public is encouraged to review the project files on the project website.

Written and oral testimony carry the same weight. Written testimony and questions may be submitted by email to [email protected] or via the online written testimony/comment form. All information provided, including questions and comments, will become a matter of public record.

Interpreter services will be provided upon request with five business days advance notice by contacting Lori Main by email at [email protected] or call 240-777-7271.
