Black Hill Regional Park Master Plan

Public Hearing Continued on Thursday, May 2, 2002

Please sign up in advance to speak

 

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s (M-NCPPC) Montgomery County Planning Board will continue the public hearing on the Black Hill Regional Park Master Plan, Thursday, May 2, 2002 at the Montgomery County Regional Office Auditorium, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland.  To sign up in advance to speak, call 301-495-4600.

 

During the Montgomery County Planning Board’s January 2000 public hearing on the proposed Master Plan for Black Hill Regional Park, members of the community voiced their concern for a second roadway entrance to the Park.  The Planning Board deferred action on the Master Plan pending the completion of a feasibility study for a second roadway entrance.  The public is invited to comment on the feasibility study, which addresses three “build” options for the roadway along with the “no-build” option.  The project site is located between Crystal Rock Drive and Lake Ridge Drive, which is currently the primary entrance into the Park located at 13440 West Old Baltimore Road, Boyds.

 

Copies of the Master Plan and the Feasibility Study report are available at the Germantown Library located in the Upcounty Government Services Center, 12900 Middlebrook Road, Germantown, Maryland.  To provide written input on the proposal, comments may be addressed to:  Arthur Holmes, Jr., Chairman, Montgomery County Planning Board, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910.  For more information, call Kathy Dearstine, (301) 650-2883, or e-mail Kathy.Dearstine@mncppc-mc.org.

 

An approximate time for the hearing will be posted on the Commission’s website after April 26.  Click on weekly agenda.
