MCDOT is holding a Virtual Public Hearing!
A virtual public hearing (online) will be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to present the design, details, costs, and schedule, gather public testimony on the proposed design, and answer questions. Please register in advance by visiting the “Participate” tab of this project website.
This project involves the design and construction of an approximately 1400-foot-long shared-use path path along the west side of Norwood Road, from MD108 (Olney-Sandy Spring Road) to Ashton Forest / Nesbitt Farm Lane. As part of the Heritage Triangle Trail, once complete, will provide safe cyclist and pedestrian access to various public facilities and historical sites within the Sandy Spring area as well as connect to the larger network.
On Thursday, May 1, 2025, the Montgomery County Planning Board will conduct a Mandatory Referral Hearing on this project. The meeting is open to the public. Interested community members and the public are encouraged to listen and provide written and/or oral testimonies regarding this project.
