The Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Station is located along Rockville Pike near Tuckerman Lane just north of the Capital Beltway (Interstate-495). Inspired by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) plans to redevelop the surface parking lot and excess area at the Metro station, the Planning Department initiated this plan to explore potential for development to advance the public policy goal of transit-oriented development. The Plan also recommends ways to enhance visibility and connectivity to the Strathmore Music Center, improve pedestrian linkages throughout the area, and create a shared identity for this community through public space and art.

NEW! WMATA has submitted a Mandatory Referral application to replace their surface parking lot with an expansion to their parking garage. The application is set to go before the board on July 19th, check the Planning Board website for schedule (released 7/5). Review the application documents.
