The Montgomery County Department of Transportation(MCDOT) is seeking public input to assist in the development of a preliminary design for a sidewalk in Hyattstown along Frederick Road between Hyattstown Mill Road and the County line. Given the historic nature of the community, MCDOT is attempting to minimize impacts of the sidewalk to properties and mature trees.
MCDOT is seeking community opinions on the location of the sidewalk, the choice of materials for the sidewalk and retaining walls, crosswalk locations, drainage and erosion issues, signage and other considerations.
A public meeting will be held this spring to present a preliminary design. For more information about the project, go to the MCDOT’s website. To comment on the project, email jon.hutchings@montgomerycountymd.gov.
