Wheaton redevelopment update

Contractors are continuing to drill boreholes at Wheaton Parking Lot 13, for the 150 geothermal wells that will provide 30% of the energy for the future Montgomery County government office building on the site. Approximately 3 of the 650' deep holes are being drilled per day.

The demolition of a median in the center of Reedie Drive is also taking place this week. Completion of the office building and a new town square is scheduled for April 2020.

    "The median in the center of Reedie Drive is also taking place this week."

    First, a median is by definition "in the center" of a given street. So that wording is redundant.

    Second, How does a median "take place this week"? A median is part of a street, not an event.

    8:16: That was a typo. It was supposed to say "demolition of the median." Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected.

    I can't wait for this. My wife will be working in the new government building.

      I'm looking forward to having a more modern way to pay for parking when attending Planning Board meetings. Hopefully no more having to run out to put coins in a meter during the meeting! Much easier walk from Metro, too.

    Don't the meters at MNCPPC allow payment by phone?

      2:24: Not the ones in the surface lot. If the ones in the garage do, it wasn't clearly marked the times I've parked there.

    Thanks for the update and I trust you'll continue with the status of the project construction, as well as the town square, such as it is...
