Description

This project provides the final design and construction of access improvements to the North Bethesda Metro Station (formerly known as the White Flint Metro Station). Access is currently limited to the southern end of the platform. Planned improvements funded for design and construction include modification of the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Rockville Pike and sidewalk and streetscape improvements on the frontage of roads connecting the North Bethesda Metro Station entrance to surrounding areas. Metro has conducted a feasibility study of providing access at the northern end of the platform, including potential pedestrian underpass connections of MD 355 (Rockville Pike). Construction of northern access to the station will reduce walk times to the Metro Platform.

Estimated Schedule

Construction of the sidewalk and streetscape improvements along MD 355 (Rockville Pike) was completed in FY22. The construction of intersection improvements at Old Georgetown Road and MD 355 will be completed in FY24.

Cost Change

The cost increase is due to a more detailed design that included extensive coordination with Maryland State Highway Administration and other agencies.

Justification

This project is needed to improve the mobility and safety for all facility users within the project area by improving the walking routes to the Metro station platforms. The project may also reduce existing conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. Currently, transit users, pedestrians, and bicyclists cross MD 355 (Rockville Pike) and Old Georgetown Road to access the Metro station. Traffic volumes and speeds on MD 355 can be high, and pedestrians must cross over seven lanes of traffic.

Fiscal Note

A state grant provided $360,000 in FY23 for pedestrian improvements in the White Flint area.
