A Virtual Public Hearing Will be Held on the Proposed Abandonment of a Portion of Public Right of Way on Broadwater Drive in Gaithersburg on Thursday, Feb. 15

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, January 9, 2024

On Thursday, Feb. 15, starting at 1 p.m., the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold a virtual public hearing to discuss the abandonment of a portion of public right of way on Broadwater Road in Gaithersburg.

The abandonment case was petitioned by Nagle & Zaller, PC, representing Goshen Run Homeowners Association, Inc. (the “Applicant”). At an upcoming virtual public hearing, residents will have an opportunity to present oral and/or written comments concerning the abandonment of a portion of public right of way covering approximately 27,146 area. The petition seeks to abandon the Public Right of Way on the basis that there is no current or anticipated future public use of the parcel.

Online registration is required by 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 9 to attend. The day before the public hearing, an email with a Zoom link will be sent to registrants via email. Written testimony carries the same weight as oral testimony. Testimony and information provided will become a matter of public record.
