Description

This project provides for community revitalization in the Burtonsville area with primary focus on the commercial core. Project elements will mitigate the impact of transportation improvement projects to businesses in the Burtonsville commercial area. The objectives are to support the existing small businesses, create new opportunities for private investment, and create a "village center" by improving the visual appearance of the area. Project elements include gateway signage, pedestrian lighting, streetscape elements, and acquisition of long-term facade and commercial center signage easements.

Justification

This project is initiated in response to proposals contained in the Burtonsville Community Legacy Plan. Burtonsville is a gateway into the County from the east and US Interstate 95. The Burtonsville Commercial Core is comprised of many older, local neighborhood retail centers with some office space. Many of the small strip shopping centers along Route 198 are in visibly poor condition. Some of the larger, older commercial and office space is vacant and underutilized. The project is intended to respond to both the visual condition of the commercial core, and to address possible business disruption that may result from a proposed realignment of Route 198 by the State. This area has also been designated as the location of a stop on the County's planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.
