Montgomery Parks is organizing an open house on Wednesday, May 8, at the Wheaton Community Center to discuss improving safety on county trails.
Montgomery Parks is gearing up to revitalize and strengthen safety along key park trails, courtesy of the United States Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. Residents can learn more about the proposed improvements at an open house from 7-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8, at the Wheaton Community Recreation Center.
The Wheaton Community Recreation Center is located at 11701 Georgia Ave. in Wheaton.
At the open house, plans will be presented for enhancing pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to and within the Sligo Creek Trail, Matthew Henson Trail and Wheaton Regional Park.
The projects will focus on improved access to trails, enhanced safety at trail crossings, construction of shared-use paths and neighborhood greenways.
Construction on the trails is expected to start in early 2025, with an estimated 24 months for completion.
Registration for the meeting is encouraged, but not required. Register via this form.
Montgomery Parks Safe Streets and Roads For All projects build upon Montgomery County’s Vision Zero Action Plan, which is the County’s roadmap for enhancing road safety and reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries.
