Vision
These essential elements of community life establish neighborhood identity and provide valuable services and programs.

Highlights
North and West Silver Spring neighborhoods have a compact, densely developed residential character with a full complement of community facilities. These resources are essential elements of community life that establish neighborhood identity and provide valuable services and programs. Much of the appeal and attractiveness of these neighborhoods is derived from their proximity to natural resources, particularly the stream valley parks.

Recommendations
  • Provide community facilities to meet the human service, recreation, security, educational, and other needs of the diverse community.
  • Renovate existing facilities and provide new facilities and recreational programs for a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and interests.
  • Design new development and redevelopment to prevent conditions that may create local noise and air pollution nuisances.
  • Enhance the natural environment by creating green spaces and identifying locations for improved street tree planting.
  • Contact the Silver Spring/Takoma Park Team
