Rockville
Pike Plan
The Mayor and Council
are holding a second public hearing regarding the draft Rockville Pike Plan on Monday,
May 16, 2016. Based on public input and
deliberations of council members, they will make a decision to approve, revise,
or reject the Plan. WECA had serious
concerns about the 2014 Pike Plan. Since
WECA testified at the hearing in December 2014, the Mayor and Council have made
recommendations for improvement of the plan, the Planning Commission has
evaluated their recommendations and revised the Plan, where they deemed it
appropriate. The revised 2016 Plan has
recently been sent to the Mayor and Council.
The WECA President
and Corresponding Secretary have reviewed the draft 2016 Plan and found that
little has changed since 2014. WECA's
previous 2014 position was also reviewed.
A point paper and draft resolution have been prepared for presentation
to the WECA Executive Board at the April 21st WECA meeting.
