East Silver Spring is a great place for those
seeking a close-in residence or business site
that is conveniently situated within the metropolitan
region. The map shows the Neighborhood Friendly
Circulation system concept for the Takoma
Park and East Silver Spring areas. The system
relies on major routes for walking, biking,
driving, or taking transit. This Plan supports
completion of key connections and improvements
to the comfort and attractiveness of each
route.
Recommendations

a hierarchy of sidewalks, paths, and bikeways
connecting to parks, schools, shops, and
other public facilities. The Countywide
Trails and streetscape improvements
along area roadways combine to create an inviting
pedestrian system.
Construct
a framework of pedestrian and bicycle routes
providing access to shops, transit, schools,
and other community facilities. Improve pedestrian
safety and provide wide, tree-lined sidewalks
throughout the areas. Provide connections
from neighborhoods to parks and trails.
Support
operational changes to improve transit and
traffic circulation.
