in Silver Spring.
The in-person meeting will be held in the Cafeteria of Wheaton High School located at
12401 Dalewood Drive
in Silver Spring. At the meeting, MCDOT will present project details and obtain public comments and answer questions. Public input is encouraged and may influence the final design of the project.

the meeting virtually. After registering, the MS Teams platform will email attendees a meeting link.

This segment of roadway on Randolph Road is identified in the Vision Zero High Injury Network, where roadway safety improvement efforts are prioritized. In 2023, MCDOT conducted a Pedestrian Road Safety Audit of the corridor, which recommended several safety improvements. These include short term countermeasures to reduce excessive vehicle speeds, pedestrian safety and comfort enhancements, and ADA compliance and access. Longer term countermeasures will also be presented for public feedback and discussion.
The public is encouraged to visit the
project website
and provide feedback via the
online comment form
or by email to
[email protected]
or by phone 240-777-2170 by 6 p.m., Friday, July 18. Written comments carry the same weight as oral comments. All information provided will become a matter of public record.
Interpreter services will be provided upon request with five business days advance notice by email to
[email protected]
or by phone 240-777-2192.
