Background

Metro today announced alternate plans to allow testimony during two upcoming public hearings in order to comply with stay-at-home orders that prohibit public gatherings in Maryland, Virginia and the District and to protect employees and the public during the COVID-19 health emergency. In lieu of in-person testimony, speakers may provide their input by phone regarding the proposed changes to the Grosvenor-Strathmore garage expansion and New Carrollton Development projects.

 

Presentations will be made available prior to the public hearings at wmata.com/plansandprojects approximately one week before the schedule hearing date. During the specified time for each hearing, speakers will be allowed up to five minutes to provide recorded testimony by voicemail. All testimony will be transcribed verbatim and included in the hearing record.
