Connecticut Ave. Pedestrian Signal

As many residents know it is very difficult to travel on foot between the east and west sides of the Village. This issue is exacerbated for residents east of Connecticut Avenue traveling who want to visit the Village Hall or post office. The lack of safe pedestrian access across Connecticut Avenue between Bradley Lane and Chevy Chase Circle has been a decades-long concern for the residents of this and neighboring communities.

At the March regular meeting of the Chevy Chase Village Board of Managers, the Village Traffic Committee presented its research and recommendation requesting that the State Highway Administration (SHA) install a pedestrian-activated traffic signal at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Lenox Street. The Board unanimously voted to support the Committee's recommendation and has sent a letter to the SHA Administrator urging SHA to expedite installation of a signal. A copy of the Traffic Committee's report and the Village Board's letter to SHA can be viewed by clicking on the links below.

The Board thanks the members of the Traffic Committee, specifically Committee member Jan Acton and Committee Chair Porter Wheeler, for their efforts on this important public safety initiative. More information regarding this pending request will be uploaded to the Village website and included in future issues of the Crier as it becomes available.
