Montgomery Parks will hold an open house May 8 to discuss plans for improving pedestrian and bike accessibility. The improvements will focus on the Sligo Creek Trail, Matthew Henson Trail, and Wheaton Regional Park.
Funding for the projects comes from a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program. The projects, building upon the County’s Vision Zero Action Plan, aim to enhance road safety and reduce traffic-related fatalities and injuries.
“The projects will focus on improved access to trails, enhanced safety at trail crossings, construction of shared-use paths and neighborhood greenways,” Montgomery Parks said. “Construction on the trails is expected to start in early 2025, with an estimated 24 months for completion.”
The open house will take place at the Wheaton Community Recreation Center (11701 Georgia Ave.) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on May 8.
