River Road Bike Path Project Public Hearing to be Held in February

The public is invited to attend a public hearing on a proposal by the Montgomery County Department of Transportation to construct a bike path along the north side of River Road (Maryland Route 190) from Riverwood Drive to River Oaks Lane in Potomac.  The meeting will be held February 1 at 7 p.m. in the Lobby Level Auditorium of the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville.

Proposed improvements include construction of a 1,200-foot long, five-foot wide concrete bike path with a grass buffer between the edge of the road and the proposed bike path.   The project will also include landscape trees and reconstruction of a portion of the existing guard rail. Every effort will be made during construction to minimize disruptions within the public right-of-way and to adjacent properties.

The public may review project files in or provide written comments to the Department of Transportation, Division of Transportation Engineering, 4th Floor, 100 Edison Park Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20878.
