The Town manager gave an overview of the December 21 meeting of the Montgomery County Planning Board. One of the items on the agenda was the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways. During the work session, Project Manager Stephen Aldrich noted that the staff’s originally proposed reclassification of Brookville Road had been removed from the list of proposed changes due to significant objection from the community. At the conclusion of the work session, the Planning Board unanimously authorized scheduling of a Public Hearing and 30-day comment period. The Planning Staff expects the Public Hearing to be scheduled for February 2018 (specific date TBD). The Planning Board intends to transmit its final recommendations to the County Executive and County Council by April 2018.
