MEDIA ADVISORY: North Four Corners Local Park on Jan. 31 Planning Board Agenda

SILVER SPRING, MD—Thursday, January 31, the Montgomery County Planning Board will take back up the renovation and expansion of North Four Corners Local Park.

On December 6, the Planning Board heard Department of Parks staff recommendations for amending the existing facility plan from September 2005 for the Silver Spring park. After much discussion and consideration of the testimony provided, the Planning Board directed parks staff to develop a new alternative for the park which rotates the position of the proposed new athletic field, reconfigures parking at the park, provides additional buffers from field activity at the park for some of the adjacent community and leaves a portion of the new park area in its existing state. At Thursday’s meeting, parks staff will present three alternatives that address these objectives.

Public testimony on this item will be limited to one hour.
