Public Workshop on Aspen Hill Neighborhood Greenway Pilot Project Scheduled June 6

For Immediate Release: Friday, May 31, 2019

Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) invites residents to attend a public workshop from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, to learn about the Aspen Hill Neighborhood Greenway Pilot Project. The meeting will be held at A. Mario Loiderman Middle School at 12701 Goodhill Road in Silver Spring. 

This project will explore opportunities to improve safety for people bicycling and walking between the Glenmont Metro Station and the Aspen Hill Shopping Center and North Gate Shopping Center via a parallel route to Georgia Avenue. It will also examine the feasibility and impacts of creating connections between the Matthew Henson Trail and neighboring communities as well as through Harmony Hills Neighborhood Park.

At this public workshop, the project team will present an overview of the Neighborhood Greenway toolkit, concept corridor alignments, and preliminary recommendations. We will also collect feedback from the community, discuss concerns, and answer any questions from the public regarding this project. We encourage you to attend, share your concerns, and provide any suggestions that may better reflect your community’s needs for safer routes for bicycling and walking. Comments and feedback can also be shared after the public workshop and throughout the project. 

If you cannot attend the meeting in person, the presentation will be live streamed using this link: https://montgomerycounty.adobeconnect.com/aspenhillneighborhoodgreenway/
