The Coalition for Smarter Growth thanks the Montgomery County Council for voting today to pass the University Boulevard Corridor Plan. 

This visionary plan lays out detailed recommendations for safer streets, a wider and more accommodating variety of housing options, a connected bike network, and greater environmental resilience. 

“The University Boulevard Corridor Plan supports more inclusive housing options and new retail near some of the highest-ridership bus lines in our region, as well as desperately needed safer infrastructure for people walking and biking, ” said Carrie Kisicki, Maryland Housing Advocacy Manager for the Coalition for Smarter Growth.

“Thanks to the efforts of Planning staff and the Planning Board, community members, and the Council, this plan will help make this community a more welcoming, inclusive, and sustainable place for years to come,” said Kisicki.
