Alan Bowser - Pedestrian Safety

Pedestrian safety has been a priority issue for me as President of the Park Hills Civic Association, and as a member of the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board.

Working together with representatives of the Seven Oaks-Evanswood Citizens Association, the East Silver Spring Citizens Asssociation, the Presidents’ Council of Silver Spring Civic Associations, the Montgomery County Department of Transportation, Councilmember Valerie Ervin, and Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett, we have strongly advocated for pedestrian friendly solutions throughout Silver Spring.

Recently, we conducted a “walkthrough” along Dale Drive to identify solutions for pedestrian safety and traffic calming at key intersections. With two schools nearby--Sligo Creek Elementary and Silver Spring International Middle School, neighbors are concerned about speeding vehicles and unsafe intersections. Our civic associations are working with the County Department of Transportation for long-term CIP solutions as well as short-term SPOT solutions to the community's pedestrian challenges.
