WMATA has asked LCOR to do the following improvements on Parcel B in the grassy area between Harris Teeter and Rockville Pike. Per Amy Ginsburg of Friends of White Flint, the following has been requested:
- Design & Entitle Permanent Roads at Chapman and McGrath
- Clear & Grade Parcel B and Roads
- Install Sewer/Storm/Water Utilities to Support Future Development
- Install Curb/Gutter, Streetscape and Hardscape
- Install Hardscape and Plantings for Parcel B
In 28 months, when this project is completed, Parcel B will be used as a public green for events, such as outdoor fitness classes, outdoor concerts, and other fun community gatherings. Last December, Metro approved a name change for the metro station. It will be renamed “North Bethesda” Metro Station in the near future.
