Rosemary Hills ES and Rock Creek Forest ES
Walkshed Safety Evaluations

 

Last year, the MCDOT Safe Routes to School team conducted safety assessments of Rosemary Hills Elementary School and Rock Creek Forest Elementary School walksheds. This assessment, which is referred to as a walkability study, reviewed the condition of existing infrastructure and developed improvements that may be implemented within the school walksheds to provide safe and accessible routes for students walking and biking to the school.

An in-person community meeting is scheduled for Thursday, December 5, 2024, to present sidewalk and safety improvements identified by the study. The community meeting will also help County staff better understand safety needs and plan future sidewalk and safety improvement projects within the Rosemary Hills and Rock Creek Forest Elementary School walksheds.

The in-person meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be held at the Rosemary Hills Elementary School's All Purpose Room located at 2111 Porter Road in Silver Spring.
