Community invited to participate in CCT project review

On Thursday afternoon, October 14, the Montgomery County Planning Board will review two related Capital Crescent Trail projects (#11 on the agenda) that, when completed, will provide much-needed bicycle and pedestrian connections in Bethesda.

The first project, Capital Crescent surface trail Phase two, is the extension of the Capital Crescent Surface Trail along the east side 47th Street, between Elm Street and Willow Lane.
