MBT Fort Totten to Takoma 100% Design Public Meeting

Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma Public Meeting Notice November 30th 2021

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host the final design public meeting to discuss the design of the section of the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT). The MBT is an important transportation route, providing connections to neighborhoods where residents live, work, and play. Once fully completed, the MBT will be an eight-mile trail that runs from Union Station to Silver Spring, Maryland. The latest section being designed connects the Fort Totten Metro Station to the Takoma neighborhood. The preliminary design for this section was completed in 2016. A public meeting was held in February 2021 to update the public on the progress of the final design. DDOT is nearing the completion of the final design of this section.

The key elements of the next section of the MBT include:
▪ New off-street and on-street trail segments
▪ Traffic calming features
▪ Storm water and low-impact development
▪ Traffic signals & Lighting
▪ Lighting & Utilities
▪ Maintenance of Traffic plans
▪ Landscaping plans
