The Flower Avenue Separated Bike Lanes Project will not only add a low-stress bikeway along Flower Avenue between Arliss Street and Piney Branch Road (MD 320) but also will improve traffic and pedestrian safety. This facility will help to provide connections for cyclists to the future Purple Line station at Arliss Street.
In May 2023, MCDOT held a community meeting to gather feedback about the design of the project and to present alternatives. Out of three alternatives presented, Alternative A was selected as the preferred alternative. As of Dec. 2023, the project has reached the 35% design milestone.
MCDOT presented the current design for community feedback at a public information meeting on February 7, 2024. Please visit the “Project Documents” tab of this website to view the meetings slides and recording.
