I-270 AND CORRIDOR CITIES TRANSITWAY STUDY BRIEFING

 

The Montgomery County Planning Board, the Mayor and Council of Rockville, and the Mayor and Council of Gaithersburg are jointly hosting a briefing on the status of the environmental impact study for I-270 and the Corridor Cities Transitway at 7:30 PM on Thursday, October 2, at the Rockville City Hall, Mayor-Council Chambers. The study, being conducted by the Maryland State Highway Administration and the Maryland Transit Administration, produced a Draft Environmental Impact Statement in May 2002. The state expects to develop a preferred alternate during the next several weeks, including selection of either Light Rail Transit (LRT) or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for the Corridor Cities Transitway. The October 2 briefing provides an opportunity for local agency staff to update elected officials on recent study findings and for state officials to describe the decision-making process and schedule. The public is encouraged to attend but no public testimony will be taken.

 


The Montgomery County Planning Board is tentatively scheduled to discuss the Park Trails Work Program priorities for FY - 04 - 06 on Thursday, October 16. Copies of the staff report will be available on-line within the agenda posted on Mondays by COB or at the information counter at 8787 Georgia Avenue, in Silver Spring. Call Lyn Coleman at (301) 650-4391 for further information.
