Beach Drive Open Parkway 2025 Program Update – Friday Closure Alternatives

In June 2024, Montgomery Parks adjusted operating hours for the Beach Drive Open Parkway by restoring Friday access while shortening the closure area to reduce cut-through traffic. The Planning Board approved the changes and requested a review of impacts and usage after one year. In June 2025, Montgomery Parks presented an update which prompted discussion of alternatives to the full Friday morning closure. This briefing will provide an update on public input on each of the alternatives for the Planning Board to consider when reviewing the operating hours.
