Woodmont East Park Hearing Today

The Gazette and the Washington Post both published articles highlighting Councilman Roger Berliner's proposal for a park at Woodmont East. Today, the Planning Board will hold a hearing on Woodmont East at approximately 2:30PM at 8787 Georgia Ave. If you can, go and be vocal in your support for a park.

Even though the hearing was scheduled for the middle of a workday and the Planning Board ignored requests to move it to a different time, many people want to testify on this project. One day in advance of the hearing, the Planning Board decided to limit public comment to three hours. I've explained my views on the official staff report on the project here. In addition to Councilman Berliner, Councilman Marc Elrich has expressed his support for a park.

Meanwhile, the developer is refusing to talk to the press, having not returned calls or declined interviews with both the Gazette and the Washington Post.
