The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration has initiated a safety study along MD 190 (River Road) from Springfield Drive to Little Falls Parkway in Montgomery County. The purpose of the study is to improve pedestrians’ and bicyclists’ safety along approximately 4,000 linear feet of MD 190, which includes multiple driveways and nine intersections. The study is expected to be completed summer 2023.
The virtual meeting will be held on Thursday, September 21, 2023, from 6:30-8 p.m. Details are available on the State Highway Administration-District 3 Web page:

The public is being invited to give input (written, online, in person) about the Parks Dept’s Proposed Capital Improvements Program for Fiscal Years 2025-2030 at an evening public forum in front of the Planning Board on Thursday 9.7.2023 at 7 pm.
This would be a good opportunity for you to express your concerns to the Planning Board about Willard Avenue Neighborhood Park — remember,
the two Parks-owned houses at River Road entrance will be torn this Fall and we don’t know what’s proposed to relace them;
we don’t know what long term improvements will be made to the park;
and, we don’t know if Parks can budget for another park to be built (perhaps near Western/Friendship Blvd).
