This extension will provide a safe, low-stress connection for pedestrians and bicycles of all ages and abilities from neighborhood residences to a local park, nearby schools, places of worship and the Good Hope Neighborhood Recreation Center.

The meeting will be held at Briggs Chaney Middle School located at 1901 Rainbow Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20880.
