New 4-way stop, crosswalks and drainage added to Brookville Road to improve pedestrian safety
Summary
The village manager said a traffic study supported adding a controlled 4-way stop at Bradley Lane and new crosswalks; additional drains and stormwater work were installed to address previous hazards where sidewalks were at roadway level.
The village manager said a traffic study supported the installation of a controlled four-way stop at Bradley Lane and additional crosswalks across Brookville Road to improve pedestrian connectivity to Chevy Chase Section 3. "We did install a new 4 way stop at Bradley Lane, and here's another crosswalk that we redid," the manager said.
The manager stressed safety concerns driving the project, noting narrow sidewalks and places where sidewalks sat at the same elevation as the road. The manager also cited about "7,000 cars that drive down this road every single day," underlining the safety imperative and the need for continuous traffic control during construction.
