Planners to present a preliminary framework concept for the Bethesda Downtown Plan and get ideas on character of Downtown neighborhoods
SILVER SPRING, MD – The Montgomery County Planning Department will be hosting a second workshop for the Bethesda Downtown Plan on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School (4301 East-West Hwy., Bethesda, MD). Planners will present a framework concept for the plan based on feedback from numerous community meetings held since last fall, followed by a break-out session where participants will work in groups to examine the characteristics of the various neighborhoods that make up the Downtown Bethesda. RSVP’s are encouraged but not required.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to weigh in on an online visual survey leading up to and during the event. For each neighborhood in downtown Bethesda, the informal survey will pose questions about street character, gathering space, and the types of landscaping for those spaces. The survey is available now and will give direction to the Planning Department about how the Downtown could look and feel for the next twenty years and beyond.
