Neighborhood Advisory

Meeting Purpose
As part of Rockville’s ongoing effort to improve pedestrian safety throughout the City and to implement the Mayor and Council’s Pedestrian Safety initiative, City staff is coordinating a meeting with residents who live on Brooke Drive from Rockland Avenue to Lewis Avenue to discuss placement and design of a sidewalk on one side of the street.

Funds to implement the sidewalk have been secured through traffic mitigation agreements with The JBG Companies as a result of the Twinbrook Commons development. As a next step, the JBG Companies is ready to begin design of the sidewalk in coordination with residents along this street. 

The meeting on November 15th will provide a forum for residents, staff and The JBG Companies to discuss options and concerns about implementing the sidewalk.  Some of the issues to discuss include the alignment of the sidewalk, whether or not to preserve certain trees along the street, which side of the street the sidewalk should be installed, and the placement of the sidewalk in relation to residential yards.
