County Council TV debate includes tunnel discussion

From Forest Estates resident Adam Pagnucco:

"Newstalk 8 had a debate today between Valerie Ervin and Hans Riemer, the two Democratic candidates running for our county council district. The debate took place at 4 PM and will replay tonight at 11 PM (on News Channel 8). I called into the show and asked about the Georgia Avenue tunnel and the metro station development. I taped the show and transcribed their responses. Following is my transcript of what they said - Adam Pagnucco"

County execs will be holding a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Forest Glen metro on Wednesday, August 30 - make sure you stop by and ask them if they will help fix the safety problems still present at the intersection!

"Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan cordially invites you to a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Forest Glen Pedestrian Bridge. The event will be held on Wednesday, August 30 at 12:15 p.m. at the north end of the bridge off Forest Glen Road and Georgia Avenue. The new pedestrian and bikeway bridge spans three I-495 interchanges and provides greatly improved pedestrian safety and access to transit.

*Directions*: From I-495, take Georgia Avenue north and take an immediate left (west) onto Forest Glen Road. Forest Glen has a median, so make a U-turn at the first opportunity. Turn right onto Coleridge Drive. Event parking is available on Coleridge Drive or Ellis Street. Montgomery County Police will not enforce permit parking restrictions during the event."
