CSG is at the table with leaders from DC, Maryland, and Virginia in “DMVMoves” - an initiative to create an updated transit vision and to (finally!) identify dedicated funding.

Event Materials: “Complete Streets” Policy Update (Prince George’s)

Testimony: Silver Spring mixed-use development at Georgia and Cameron (Support, Montgomery County)
We wish to express our support for the proposed mixed-use development at 8676 Georgia Avenue and 8601 Cameron Street. This development will provide up to 525 additional transit-accessible homes in downtown Silver Spring; improve pedestrian and bike infrastructure in the surrounding area; and offer additional retail and commercial space to serve this neighborhood and its many residents and visitors just blocks from the Silver Spring Metro.
