For Immediate Release: Tuesday, November 7, 2023

On Tuesday, Nov. 14, starting at 6:30 p.m., the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold a hybrid public meeting to discuss the construction of sidewalks adjacent to Joann Leleck Elementary School within the Oakview community on Stateside Drive from Avenel Road to Stateside Court.

The sidewalk project was initiated by MCDOT’s Safe Routes to School program to provide a safe route for students walking and biking to Joann Leleck Elementary School. MCDOT encourages you to attend, share your input and provide any suggestions that may better reflect your community’s needs.

Online registration is required to attend virtually. This meeting will be accessible both in-person and virtually. The in-person meeting will be held at Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School, located at 1100 Corliss Street, Silver Spring and the virtual meeting link will be emailed to registrants on the morning of the public meeting. Questions and comments will become a matter of public record.

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

Interpreter services will be provided upon request with five business days advance notice by contacting Nima Upadhyay by email at SidewalkSRTS-LeleckES@montgomerycountymd.gov or 240-220-8299.
