Takoma Park Junction Redevelopment Project Review on Hold The Takoma Park Junction Redevelopment Project review was put on hold after the city received a letter from the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) regarding design concerns. The letter, first dated April 6 and changed to April 13, voices concerns with the project’s design of a layby on Carroll Avenue, which was proposed to allow deliveries for area businesses. The Takoma Park Junction Redevelopment Project aims to redevelop the Takoma Junction city-owned parking lot, in order to “act as a stimulus to the commercial district and locally-owned, independent businesses; improve the aesthetic appeal of the district; and be contextually sensitive and environmentally sustainable.” The project is estimated to cost $89,630 in legal fees, $42,500 for traffic study and $5,000 towards mediation.
