Title

Proposed letter to Mr. Kanathur Srikanth, Deputy Executive Director, Metropolitan Planning Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, expressing support of Montgomery County’s application to the Regional Safety Pilot Program for a High Incidence Area Safety Study and Design for New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650).

 

Background

This letter supports Montgomery County’s application to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (“MWCOG”) Regional Safety Pilot Program. The stretch of New Hampshire Avenue covered by the application encompasses both counties.  The segment has a history of serious and fatal crashes along both the Prince George’s and Montgomery County portions of the roadway and has been identified in each of our High Injury Networks. 

 

The Regional Safety Pilot Program provides short-term consultant services to member jurisdictions or agencies to assist with planning or preliminary engineering projects that address roadway safety issues.
