Montgomery County seeks volunteers to collaborate on the Purple Line
From the Takoma Park Department of Housing and Community Development:
The Montgomery County Planning Board seeks applicants for a community advisory committee to work with its planners as they craft a plan for the proposed Metro Purple Line, slated to connect Bethesda and New Carrollton.
The advisory committee will help planners analyze the transit line's potential impacts on the community. Called a functional master plan, the resulting product will lay out the Planning Department's recommendations for the type of transit—light rail or rapid bus—alignment, and station locations in Montgomery County.
The Purple Line functional master plan will provide a framework for the Montgomery County Planning Board to react quickly to the MTA's recommendations for the alignment of either light rail or rapid bus transit, expected by summer 2008.
If you are interested in serving on the advisory committee, please submit your letter of interest by Friday, July 13, 2007 to Tom Autrey, Transportation Planning Division
