We need your help at a hearing this Thursday to finally stop an outdated, destructive highway and to protect sensitive forests and wetlands.

In-Person Public Hearing: Master Plan of Highways and Transitways
Thurs., Jan. 9 at 6:00 PM
Upcounty Regional Services Center
12900 Middlebrook Road, Germantown, MD

If built, the Mid-County Highway Extended (M-83) would cut through farmland, forests and wetlands in its path through the Seneca Creek watershed. 

CSG, TAME, and partners have worked tirelessly for years to oppose this harmful highway. We have long put forward a combination of solutions, linking better land use with bus rapid transit, better street connectivity, and improved bike and pedestrian connections upcounty as an alternative to building M-83. 

Officials are open to finally removing M-83 from the county master plan—but they need to hear from all of us.
