MCDOT Holds Virtual Public Hearing on Proposed Modification of the Highland Stone Residential Permit Parking Area in Silver Spring

DOT Events Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold a virtual public hearing to discuss the proposed modification to the current Highland Stone Residential Permit Parking Area in Potomac. The public will have an opportunity to provide testimony and ask questions. The Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Program began in 1974 to reduce the impact of non-residents parking on neighborhood streets in areas near certain public facilities and land uses (such as Metrorail stations) and is governed by Executive Regulation 13-23. Parking by too many non-residents can restrict resident access to on-street parking, increase air and noise pollution, and create unsafe traffic conditions. At the public hearing, MCDOT will present project details and the schedule. MCDOT will also obtain public testimony and answer questions. Public input is encouraged and may influence the final decision. Please register online to attend the hearing.
