LOCATION15100 Barnesville Road, BoydsESTIMATED SCHEDULEThe site remediation was completed in FY22. Design for the bus loop and parking lot will begin in FY22 with construction completionin FY24.PROJECT JUSTIFICATIONAs part of its facility planning process, the County has been working towards the preliminary design of a future transit center in closeproximity to the Boyds MARC station. The existing station is popular among commuters but parking is limited. In addition, providingRide-On bus service to the station is difficult due to the road network and lack of space for buses to turn around. In the Summer of2017, the County learned that the owners of the property adjacent to the MARC station (the Anderson Family) had listed theproperty for sale. In FY19, the County purchased the property. The County's acquisition of the Anderson property is supported bythe Boyds Civic Association and the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission. As the design of the transit stationcontinues to develop, the County intends to seek participation from the State of Maryland.FISCAL NOTEThe contribution amount was reduced based on the actual cost that was less than the budgeted site remediation cost.DISCLOSURESA pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.COORDINATIONMaryland Transit Administration, CSX Transportation, Historic Preservation Program of Maryland National Capital Park andPlanning Commission, Department of Permitting Services.Mass Transit (MCG)16-7

The Burtonsville Station is the northernmost FLASH station inMontgomery County and is well-situated for park-and-ride access with direct ramps to US 29 and strong east-west connections viaMaryland 198. With this strategic location, the park-and-ride can serve residents of Montgomery, Prince George's and Howard County,increasing transit ridership and lowering traffic demands on US 29 through Montgomery County. Expansion of this park-and-ride isneeded to accommodate future ridership at this station and is part of longer-term plans to extend FLASH service into Howard Countyand to provide all-day service in Burtonsville. The location can also serve as a hub for interconnecting local services to nearbycommunities like Cloverly, Ashton, Laurel and Maple Lawn. Expansion of public parking capacity at this location may also facilitate amore compelling development vision for County, State and privately owned properties in this part of Burtonsville.ESTIMATED SCHEDULEMass Transit (MCG)16-9

The feasibility study is expected to be completed in FY22 and is being coordinated with the development RFP.PROJECT JUSTIFICATIONIt is estimated that by 2040 there will be a need for 1,000 park-and-ride spaces at the Burtonsville Park-and-Ride to serve the FLASHservice and the current capacity of the park-and-ride lot is only 475 spaces. This parking also serves Metrobus and MTA bus servicesand supports County employee commuting. The park and ride lot has strong access to US 29, but access from Old Columbia Pike andMaryland 198 relies upon connections through adjacent commercial development. The Burtonsville Crossing Shopping Center isimmediately adjacent to the park-and-ride lot and the rear of the center faces the FLASH station. The Burtonsville Crossing ShoppingCenter has struggled to retain and attract tenants since the opening of the Burtonsville Town Center, directly across Old Columbia Pike,and the completion of the Burtonsville overpass on US 29. The center is currently home to only two small businesses on a 16 acre site.With such low occupancy, the shopping center has become a source of community concern. Reconfiguration of the park-and-ride lotand its access routes, may be an important element of reactivating or redeveloping the Burtonsville Crossing Shopping Center andbetter integrating development on the approximately 36 acres of land between Old Columbia Pike, US 29, Maryland 198 and thePepco transmission lines.FISCAL NOTEDGS issued an RFP for development of the site in FY21, with responses expected in FY22. An additional 4.5 million in State Aid isavailable to begin implementation of recommendations from the feasibility study and will be coordinated with joint developmentefforts.DISCLOSURESA pedestrian impact analysis will be performed during design or is in progress. The County Executive asserts that this projectconforms to the requirement of relevant local plans, as required by the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and PlanningAct.COORDINATIONGeneral Services, Intergovernmental Relations, Office of the County Executive, Community Engagement Cluster.Mass Transit (MCG)16-10

These improvements will advance the transit networkspecified by master plans. Potential improvements may also be identified through other planning and transit operations studies orrequested by community members.ESTIMATED SCHEDULEProjects programmed for FY22 include: Veirs Mill Road, near the Wheaton Metrorail Station; Century Boulevard, Crystal Rock Driveand Aircraft Road near the Germantown Transit Center; and US 29 in Silver Spring. FY23 projects will be coordinated with theWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's Bus Priority Program, which will provide design for bus reliability improvementsfor up to two corridors in Montgomery County, with the intention that the improvements would be implemented by the County.Mass Transit (MCG)16-11

COST CHANGEAddition of 5 million over the six years will fund an ongoing level of effort for transit service improvements.PROJECT JUSTIFICATIONMontgomery County is working towards implementation of a 102-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) network that will dramaticallyimprove transit and support the county's economic development, equity, and environmental goals. This network is focused on tenprimary corridors within Montgomery County and is an ambitious plan to improve bus transit service and refocus how people travelin Montgomery County. Individual corridor projects are complex, costly, and take several years to implement. Recognizing theimportance of improving bus performance in the shorter term, the Montgomery County Department of Transportation is advancingthe Bus Priority Program to provide targeted and quickly implementable improvements that will result in improved bus reliability andtravel time.DISCLOSURESA pedestrian impact analysis will be performed during design or is in progress.
