The Bowie Mill Road Bikeway Project proposes to construct a shared-use path/bikeway along Bowie Mill Road from Muncaster Mill Road (MD 115) to Olney-Laytonsville Road (MD 108). The project also provides a new pedestrian bridge over the Rock Creek North Branch to continue the side path along Bowie Mill Road. This 3.3-mile-long bikeway will provide a connection between existing trails and the Intercounty Connector Bike Path, Needwood Road Bike Path, Shady Grove Metrorail Station, Sequoyah Elementary School, Colonel Zadok Magruder High School, and Olney Town Center.

The Public Hearing will be recorded. The recording will be available for viewing in the Project Documents section of the project website by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, 2026.

The sole purpose of a public hearing is to allow residents an opportunity to present oral and/or written testimony concerning the design of the project. The information presented may influence the final design. The hearing will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run through 8:30 p.m.

WRITTEN TESTIMONY CARRIES THE SAME WEIGHT AS ORAL TESTIMONY. Written testimony for consideration and questions may be submitted via the online written testimony form linked on the project website under the “Project Documents” and “Participate” sections or via email to the project manager, Jean Kapusnick, at Jean.Kapusnick@montgomerycountymd.gov.
