Washington Grove Connector - Crabbs Branch Way Extension

The Washington Grove Connector Trail project will result in a shared use path from the terminus of Brown Street in Washington Grove to the terminus of Crabbs Branch Way. The proposed 850-foot long, 10-foot wide trail will provide a paved connection for pedestrian and bicycle users from Washington Grove to destinations and transit hubs such as the Shady Grove Metro station. This important connection is identified in the 2006 Shady Grove Sector Plan and 2021 Shady Grove Sector Plan Minor Master Plan Amendment.

MCDOT will be holding a hybrid in-person/virtual public meeting!

When: Thursday, March 6, 2025
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
