The state also identified a Gaithersburg project as a grant recipient, described here by the Gaithersburg planning director:
The Maryland Department of Transportation has approved $16,000 in reimbursable grant funding for the Assessment of the Gaithersburg Bicycle Loop along I-270, which will explore the feasibility of developing a path on the east side of the NIST campus along I-270… The path would link MD 117 to Muddy Branch Rd. and provide alternate routing to avoid crossing a major on-ramp to SB I-270. The City will be responsible for $4,000 in matching funds for this project. This was one of the projects discussed at the Transportation Committee’s update to the M&CC last year.
