This project provides for design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocations, and construction of a new grade-separated connection under Georgia Avenue to improve access to the Forest Glen Metro Station from neighborhoods and institutions located on the east side of Georgia Avenue. There is currently an underground walkway from the parking and bus area on the northwest quadrant of the intersection to the southwest quadrant. A new connection would be made to this passageway connecting the southwest quadrant to the northeast quadrant. A ramp connection and elevators bring the underground connection to grade on the northeast corner of the intersection.
The design began in FY22 and construction funding is currently scheduled for FY25.
The hybrid (online and in-person) public meeting for the Forest Glen Passageway project will be held on Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 6:30 p.m., to present the project details which has reached the 15% design milestone, obtain community comments and answer questions.
The in-person meeting will be held in Conference Room 2-303 on the 2nd floor of 2425 Reedie Drive in Wheaton.
