The next Embark Richmond Highway community meeting and open house will be held May 15 from 6:30-9 p.m. at Walt Whitman Middle School.
This is the fourth community meeting about the planned initiative, and the first one held in 2017. Per a county news release, the meeting will focus on the following:
- Recommended housing, parks, public facilities including schools, heritage resources and environmental needs to be considered in a proposed update to the land use plan for the corridor
- Future traffic volumes and estimated daily bus rapid transit ridership in 2040 based on the proposed new land uses and the existence of a BRT system
Information and presentations from previous Embark community and advisory group meetings can be found on the county website.
Walt Whitman Middle School is located at 2500 Parkers Lane (see map). Transportation and childcare assistance is available for those who need it (more info).
In other Embark news, a video simulation of the planed BRT down the middle of Richmond Highway was published in March:
