    Executive Director’s Recommendation Commission Meeting: March 1, 2018 PROJECT NCPC FILE NUMBER Purple Line Light Rail Transit Facility 7949 Sligo Creek Stream Valley Park Montgomery County, Maryland NCPC MAP FILE NUMBER 76.45.02(41.23)44678 SUBMITTED BY Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning APPLICANT’S REQUEST Commission Approval of preliminary and final site development plans REVIEW AUTHORITY PROPOSED ACTION Capper Cramton Act Review Approve preliminary and final site per 46 Stat. 482 development plans ACTION ITEM TYPE Consent Calendar PROJECT SUMMARY On behalf of the Maryland Transit Authority, the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission has requested preliminary and final review of site development plans on Sligo Creek Stream Valley Park property to accommodate the new Purple Line light rail transit facility. The new transit line will cross through the park along Wayne Avenue (within its vehicular traffic lanes), across Sligo Creek via a new (widened) bridge and across the Sligo Creek Parkway. The Purple Line is planned as a 16-mile, regionally-significant, transit facility between Bethesda, Maryland (Montgomery County) and New Carrollton, Maryland (Prince George’s County), providing east- west connectivity between the Metrorail’s Red, Orange, and Green Lines. Construction will occur between 2018-2021 within the Sligo Creek Stream Valley Park. KEY INFORMATION • NCPC has approval authority of the project since the site is located on property acquired with federal funding appropriated under the 1930 Capper Cramton Act. The Act was intended to provide for the acquisition of lands in Maryland and Virginia to develop a comprehensive park, parkway, and playground system in the National Capital.

A. POINT OF CONTACT : Barb Solberg, Division Chief Highway Design Division Office of Highway Development State Highway Administration 707 North Calvert St. Baltimore MD, 21202 410-545-8830 [email protected] B. EXISTING OR PROJECTED TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUE : • Relocation of Walter Reed The Bethesda Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) improvement projects are intended to mitigate gridlock, improve pedestrian access and safety, and support multi-modal transportation systems around the new federally-mandated Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. One of the most noteworthy moves mandated by the 2005 BRAC law was the closure of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, D.C., with the relocation of most of its functions and personnel to the campus of the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, establishing the joint service Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). The intent of consolidating these two premier institutions was to establish the modern “crown jewel” of military medical care and research combining the best of Army, Navy and Air Force practices that could serve the needs of the American military facing new kinds of catastrophic injuries in the era following September 11, 2001.

  • Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21
    Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21 On January 21, 2021, more than 60 legislators attended the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s virtual legislative reception. They were invited to share some of their favorite outdoor spots in their districts and throughout Maryland. Their contributions were so wonderful that we were asked to compile them and send them to attendees. As Senate President Bill Ferguson said, “Our parks are those spaces that bring Marylanders together to get that fundamental belief in love of family, of friends, of each other.” “Our 6,400 parks and green spaces are a great way to boost your mental and overall health” added House Speaker Adrienne Jones.” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeanne Haddaway-Riccio reminded us all how diverse Maryland is, and we see this in the list of favorite spots below. Below is YOUR list! The sites on the list below are not exhaustive, but were those suggested by legislators and guests present that evening as places they visit to get outdoors and feel refreshed and recharged. The entries include a word or two about the site, at times thoughts from your colleagues, the name of the legislator suggesting the site, and a website for more information. You can visit by yourself or call up your colleagues and ask for a personal tour! Anne Arundel County B&A Trail, great for walking, biking, rollerblading, and more, stretches from Boulters Way in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station (ca. 1889) is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises.

    Capital Crescent Trail TRAILS Trails are paths that are located outside of the road right-of-way. They provide two-way travel designated for walking, bicycling, jogging and skating. Trails are typically 10 feet wide, but can vary between 8 feet (in constrained locations) and 14 feet wide (where usage is likely to be higher). On trails with very high levels of walking and bicycling, spaces for pedestrians and bicyclists are often separated to reduce conflicts and improve comfort. In these situations, trail can be widened to between 15 and 24 feet wide. Trails include off-street trails and stream valley park trails. Bethesda Trolley Trail OFF-STREET TRAILS Benefits • Provide a bicycling environment suitable for all ages and abilities. • Tend to have fewer at-grade crossings than other bikeways.
