The Montgomery County Planning Department will be holding workshops to obtain community input on future plans
for the areas around the Boyds and Germantown MARC train stations. The new MARC
Rail Communities Plan will build on the recommendations of the previous 1985
Boyds Master Plan, the 1989 Germantown Master Plan and the 2009 Germantown
Employment Area Sector Plan, and will examine in greater detail land uses,
zoning, design and multimodal access.
This limited Master Plan will:
- Determine the appropriate land uses and densities at sites near each station.
- Provide recommendations to improve multimodal access to each station to help inform the access portion of this plan using information gathered during the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways and the Bicycle Master Plan.
- Consider other concerns raised during the planning process, such as parking.
The first set of workshops are
planned for March 7 and 14-16, 2016 at the Upcounty Services Center, 12900 Middlebrook Road, Germantown. See the full schedule, times of meetings and agenda online or contact Roberto Duke
