Description

This project provides for pedestrian and bicycle improvements for dual bicycle facilities (on-road and off-road) and enhanced, continuous pedestrian facilities along Seven Locks Road from Montrose Road to Bradley Boulevard (3.3 miles) plus a bike path on Montrose Road between Seven Locks Road and the I-270 ramp, plus northbound and eastbound auxiliary through lanes with on-road bike lanes at the intersection of Seven Locks Road and Tuckerman Lane. The project is broken down into three phases: Phase I provides dual bikeway and pedestrian facilities for the segment of Seven Locks Road from Montrose Road to Tuckerman Lane including the bike path on Montrose and the improvements to the Tuckerman Lane intersection. Phase II provides a dual bikeway and pedestrian facilities for the segment of Seven Locks Road from Tuckerman Lane to Democracy Boulevard. Phase III provides a dual bikeway and pedestrian facilities for the segment of Seven Locks Road from Democracy Boulevard to Bradley Boulevard.

Estimated Schedule

$500,000 was provided in Facility Planning: Transportation CIP Project (#509337) in FY21 to refresh conceptual design to comply with the latest Complete Street Design Guide. Project components are scheduled to commence beyond six years.

Justification

This project is needed to address bicycle facility disconnects along Seven Locks Road. The roadway lacks adequate north-south, on-road/off-road bicycle facilities necessary to provide continuity and connection between existing and future bike facilities. Continuous bicycle and pedestrian facilities are needed to allow safe access to residential, retail and commercial destinations, as well as existing religious and educational and facilities. Plans and studies include: 2002 Potomac Sub-Region Master Plan; 2018 Countywide Bikeways Master Plan and MCDOT Facility Planning Phase I & II

Other

Costs are based on preliminary design. Construction costs will be updated during the design phase. This project currently provides funding for Phase I improvements only. The project will help the County achieve its Vision Zero goals to reduce deaths and serious injuries on County Roadways to zero by 2030. A facility planning refresh was completed in FY22 to determine changes needed to meet current pedestrian and bicycle guidelines. Though the proposed width of the roadway has decreased, the proposed width of the pedestrian and bicycle facilities has increased per the Complete Street Design Guide, and therefore, the overall typical section remains largely the same throughout the project limits.

Fiscal Note

The total estimated cost of the project for all three phases is approximately $70 million, including design, land acquisition, site improvements, utility relocation, and construction. The project can be built in phases to better absorb cost and financial constraints.
