The Montgomery County Council approved the resolution titled “Transportation Solution for Northwest Montgomery County” on October 31, 2017. The resolution instructs the County Planning Board to ignore M-83, the long-planned roadway which would connect the Midcounty Highway in Gaithersburg to Snowden Farm Parkway in Clarksburg, when making future decisions about development.
