2. MAJOR ISSUES
3. RESOURCES and OPPORTUNITIES
a. WALKABILITY
1. Capital Improvement Projects (Forest Glen pedestrian tunnel,
Equestrian crossing at Rachel Carson, Evans Local Park
reconstruction).
2. County and State sidewalk improvement programs.
3. Private property developments/redevelopments (BB&T Bank,
Wheaton Baptist Church, changes in existing special
exceptions).
4. Potential mid-block pedestrian crossings with signals.
5. Policy Area Mobility Review (PAMR) mitigation of new
development projects in the corridor.
6. Traffic calming measures.
7. New tools and resources (the road code, better design
standards and techniques, greater awareness of issues).

TRAFFIC CONGESTION
1. Capital Improvement Projects (Norbeck and Glenmont grade
separations, Georgia Avenue Busway, Brookeville Bypass).
2. Better alignment of land use and transportation infrastructure
(new growth at metro stations, Jobs and housing balance).
3. Changes in technology (telecommuting) and employment
patterns (live near your work programs, flex hours, limited or no
free parking, higher gasoline prices).
4. Better transit facilities and operations to reduce car travel.
5. TODS and walkable communities.

1. Sustainability.
2. Focus new growth in Metro station areas (No
rezonings outside Metro Station areas).
3. Focus on non-auto and transit mobility rather than
vehicular capacity of the roads.
3. Protect and enhance the residential character of the
areas between commercial centers (no new special
exceptions along Georgia Avenue).
4. A Green Boulevard through landscaping of the
ROW and properties facing Georgia Avenue.
5. Design excellence in both public and private
projects.
