Project Description:
The Maryland
State Highway
Administration (SHA) plans to build a new
grade separated interchange at Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road. This
will require the demolition and relocation of current Fire Station No.
18 at that location. A replacement fire station will be located on the
WMATA site adjacent to the planned parking garage on the west side of
Georgia Avenue across from Glenallan Avenue.
This project
provides for an approximately 19,000 gross square foot new fire station
to
replace the current fire station located at the intersection of Georgia
Avenue and Randolph Road. The recommended replacement fire-rescue
station is a modified Class II station designed to meet current
operational requirements and accommodate modern fire fighting
apparatus. The project includes living and administrative areas, gear
storage, decontamination, Information Technology rooms, and three
apparatus bays.
Funding:
Project Status:
May 2012 – Preparation of Construction Documents is ongoing. The project is on track for construction completion in early 2014.
A public meeting to present the concept fire station design was held on
April 28, 2011 at the Wheaton Community Center. The presentation
