Plans for the proposed Carroll Avenue Separated Bike Lanes project in the Takoma/Langley Crossroads area of Silver Spring will be discussed at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5, as the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) meets with residents at New Hampshire Estates Elementary School. The project is currently at 35 percent completion in the design stage.

New Hampshire Estates Elementary School is located at 8720 Carroll Ave. in Silver Spring. Meeting materials will be provided in both English and Spanish, and Spanish translation will be available at the meeting.

Prior to the meeting, residents can review the proposal files on the project website here. Materials will be posted no later than 5 p.m. the day of the meeting.

The proposed design will provide one-way separated bike lanes on each side of Carroll Avenue from Merrimac Drive to University Boulevard and a two-way cycletrack on the east side of the street from University Boulevard to Piney Branch Road (MD 320) in the Takoma/Langley Crossroads area.

Pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements will be included with the project. Traffic calming is also being considered.
