A continuation of the public
hearing to obtain input on the proposed closure of the Hermitage Avenue
right-of-way at its intersection with Georgia Avenue is planned for 7 p.m. on
Wednesday, February 24. The closure is part of a Montgomery County
Department of General Services (DGS) project to construct a new Wheaton
Library/Community Recreation Center.
DGS is proposing to
create a new right-of-way for vehicle and pedestrian use that will link to the
existing portion of Hermitage Avenue. The new right-of-way will open before the
closure of the old section of Hermitage Avenue. The pavement will be removed
from the old section, but it will remain accessible to pedestrians.
The hearing will be
held in the Council Office Building, 100 Maryland Avenue, Rockville, 7th
Floor.
