Public meeting scheduled on proposed Martin Street shared-use path in Wheaton

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation has scheduled a public meeting on the proposed Martin Street shared-use path in Wheaton. Martin Street has very little actual paved roadway, but is a right-of-way that connects Arcola Avenue with Henderson Avenue from south to north. MCDOT has proposed a 1,150-foot-long, 10-foot-wide paved pathway. It would include 2-foot-wide buffers on either side, and two local street crossings. A landscape evaluation will determine stormwater improvements such as rain gardens, educational stations on native trees, and plants and lighting. 

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at 6:30 PM in the Art Room of the Wheaton Community Recreation Center at 11701 Georgia Avenue. If you cannot attend in person, an online option will be available. Register online in advance, and the meeting link will be emailed to you on the day before the meeting. You can also, right now or at any time, provide written comments on the project using this online form. Project documents are available for review on the project website.
