Most of the roads in Forest Glen targeted for reconstruction
were in very poor condition. MCDOT removed and replaced deteriorated curbs and
gutters, as needed, ground up the old roadway surface, further evaluated the
road substructure for damage, patched where needed, and reconstructed the roads
with hot mix asphalt.
The Forest Glen neighborhood is comprised of three
Homeowners Associations: Forest Estates, Forest Grove and Northmont. The
multi-year project proved to be an ideal time for the County’s Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) to also make improvements in Forest Estates. Through its Green Streets initiative,
localized stormwater management features were incorporated into the County’s
right-of-way. The components included rain gardens, bioretention gardens, and
grass bioswales that channel runoff from paved surfaces to permeable soils, gravel
and plants, thus reducing pollution and
improving stream water quality. The project is $1.00. Each additional hour is $2.50.
