Sidewalks for Rock Creek Manor
Proposed Sidewalk Locations:
• Parkvale Road: Starting from the intersection of Parkvale Road and Manorfield Road (which is where a current path of sidewalk abruptly ends) and where Parkvale Road turns into Manorvale Road.
• Manorvale Road: From where Parkvale turns into Manorvale Rd and ending at the intersection of Manorvale Road and Russet Road.
• Greenspan Lane: from the intersection of Greenspan Lane and Parkvale Road through the intersection of Greenspan Lane and Bauer Drive.
Why is this important?
How Sidewalks Would Improve our Community:
• Would provide sidewalk access to two entrances of Rock Creek Park Paths (Parkvale Rd and Manorvale Rd)
• Provides sidewalk access for students walking to Earle B Wood Middle School and Rock Creek Valley Elementary School and the Earle B Wood Park on the school’s grounds
• Provides sidewalk access to Bauer Driver Community Recreation Center
• Would allow sidewalk access (via Rock Creek Park Path) to Tikvat Israel, and Twinbrook Baptist Church
• Provides sidewalk access to Bus Stop (Bus 48 Line) at intersection of Greenspan Lane and Bauer Drive
• Allows sidewalk access to Rock Creek Village center grocery stores/restaurants
• All three roads are being used by drivers from outside the neighborhood as a short cut around Rock Creek Village Center and associated traffic
• There have been car accidents from speeding cars on our street already.
• We have an active community with seniors, kids, bikers, pedestrians, and dog walkers all currently in the street and increasing the risk of a serious accident.
