Rockville Pike at Bou Avenue, Rockville, Maryland

Rockville is a key link in the effort to improve transportation from  Friendship Heights to Clarksburg.   Everyone complains about the traffic, but what can be done about it without building more highways through our neighborhoods?   Join residents, local businesses, organizations, and community leaders to learn about the County’s Rapid Transit proposal, get your questions answered by County officials, and engage in a discussion about Rapid Transit and other solutions for turning 355 into a safe, efficient, and attractive boulevard of the future.  This is related to the Rockville Pike Plan, so if you’re following that project, you’ll probably be interested in this as well.

Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 6:00 pm in the Cafeteria of the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street in downtown Rockville.  Metered parking on the street; free parking in the jury parking lot at Jefferson and Monroe.

Speakers: 

• Casey Anderson, Montgomery County Planning Board
• Larry Cole, Montgomery County Planning Department
• Chuck Lattuca, Rapid Transit System Development Manager for MCDOT.

Refreshments will be served.

If you are interested in attending, please register in advance.

This event is co-sponsored and facilitated by Coalition for Smarter Growth and Communities for Transit.  Our co-hosts include Montgomery County Sierra Club, TAME Coalition, the White Flint Partnership, and Friends of White Flint.
