Rockshire Village Shopping Center Update
The City of Rockville published the report that was done by the consulting firm Rhodeside & Harwell that was hired by the city to research and report on the feedback from the member of the community and other sources regarding the future of the Rockshire Shopping Mall property. The report is available here:
https://www.rockvillemd.gov/2293/Rockshire-Village-Center-Study
The board has received several questions and concerns from the community members regarding the new fence installed around the shopping center, the availability of parking spaces in the near future, potential exposure to hazardous materials and air pollution during demolition and construction, etc.
We checked with the City of Rockville department of Planning and Development, and received confirmation that at this stage, no imminent demolition and construction work is to take place. The property owners and developers will schedule additional meeting with the community in the future, as they proceed with the development application process.
Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Campaign
We have installed some signs around the community asking drivers to slow down and be more careful of children on our community’s streets. Other measures include repairing existing speed bumps and installing new speed bumps in additional spots. We appreciate drivers’ attention to kids, pedestrians, and other drivers on our streets, and we also ask parent to talk to their children about safe practices when walking or playing outside.
