Quick context to catch up fast.
The committee approved a letter supporting proposed Rollins Avenue safety improvements, including pedestrian refuge islands, speed humps, curb extensions, flex posts, improved markings and traffic restrictions. The letter also asks Rockville to evaluate separated bicycle lanes and use traffic calming if those facilities are not feasible. Public comments on the project were open through the end of June.

The committee’s approved letter backs changes intended to slow vehicle traffic, shorten pedestrian crossings and make bicycling safer on Rollins Avenue. It says shared-lane markings alone do not provide safety benefits and recommends separated bicycle facilities where possible. The committee also discussed a Stonestreet corridor redesign, a Twinbrook bike and pedestrian bridge scheduled to begin later in June, and the city’s application for a Bicycle-Friendly Community award.
