Two Important Upcoming Meetings from our friends in Gaithersburg

Hi Everyone,


Two upcoming meetings will provide excellent opportunities to express our concerns about the Gaithersburg West Master Plan and get answers from the County Council. Please make every effort to attend as everyone is invited to both meetings and is encouraged to attend.

What: The Cities of Rockville and Gaithersburg will meet with the County Council

When: Monday, March 1 at 6:30 p.m.

Where: In the Mayor and Council Chambers, Rockville City Hall, 111 Maryland Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20850.

Key Topic: City officials from Rockville and Gaithersburg will discuss their concerns about the traffic and other issues regarding the Gaithersburg West Master Plan with the County Council.

The entrance to the Rockville City Hall is on Vinson Street which across the street from the County Council Building. There is parking in the lot next to the City Hall and an overflow parking lot off of South Washington Street behind City Hall. Google maps does not give the correct location for the City Hall. There is a map on the Rockville website: http://www.rockvillemd.gov/parks-facilities/cityhall.htm .

For those who live in Gaithersburg or Rockville, please email your Mayor and Council members to urge them to ask the tough questions.

If you haven’t had a chance to read the “Science City vs. The Pentagon” comparisons, please visit www.scale-it-back.com . I guarantee you will have LOTS of questions to ask the Council once you see that the Science City will be equivalent in size to four and a half Pentagons...without the transportation options.

Thanks and best regards,
