This project provides for the final design and construction of two 11-foot travel lanes for a one mile segment of Goldsboro Road (MD 614) from MacArthur Boulevard to River Road (MD 190), a shared use path along the north side, a 5-foot sidewalk on the south side at selected locations. Where feasible, drainage improvements are included in the scope of the project. The existing pedestrian bridge over Minnehaha Branch on the south side of Goldsboro Road near Wedgewood Road is proposed to be replaced.

Design will start in FY27. Land acquisition is scheduled in FY29. Construction is scheduled to start in FY30.

This project will comply with the 1990 Bethesda-Chevy Chase Master Plan and the 2018 Countywide Bikeways Master Plan to improve pedestrian and bicycle facilities, encourage usage and improve safety for all users. It will improve access to major destinations in and beyond the project area and ultimately connect to other sidewalk and bicycle facilities.

The preliminary design costs for this project are covered in the "Facility Planning - Transportation" project (#509337). Right-of-way acquisition is required. The project will help the County achieve its Vision Zero goals to reduce deaths and serious injuries on County Roadways to zero.

Construction cost estimates will be updated during the final design phase.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
