Takoma Park Elementary School Addition
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has been planning an addition to the Takoma Park Elementary School over the past few years. MCPS would like to initiate construction in the summer of 2009 and complete construction in the summer of 2010.
The project is tentatively scheduled for a Montgomery County Planning Board Mandatory Referral Hearing on September 18. A M-NCPPC staff report will be available online prior to the hearing at: http://www.montgomeryplanningboard.org/agenda/. The public is invited to sign up to provide comments at the hearing.
The addition will replace the trailers and the building currently located along Philadelphia Avenue. The proposed improvements will include classrooms, daycare (provided by another County agency), will separate the bus traffic from car traffic by adding a one-way bus loop to the site off of Philadelphia Avenue, and will add parking so that teachers and parents no longer park in the neighborhood.
A copy of the 99% plans are available for public viewing in the City of Takoma Park Housing and Community Development office at 7500 Maple Avenue.
