June Update - Tabling, Meetings, and More!

Community outreach and engagement for the Rockville Town Center Master Plan update is in full swing! City staff members have been at events all over Rockville during the past two months, and you’ll continue to see us out on the street with flyers, poster boards, and stickers asking you for your thoughts on how to prioritize public improvements in the master plan.

We are also in the process of planning and hosting a series of roundtable discussions focused on certain stakeholder and demographics groups that we might not hear as much feedback from otherwise. Planners continue to meet with individual groups and organizations as well, to hear what the people they represent need from Town Center’s future. Let us know if your group or organization would like to set up a meeting!

Continue to share your thoughts anytime by using a variety of feedback tools available on Engage Rockville. The webpage has a survey, reaction map, question and answer box, and idea board.


Did you know?

Over a third (38.4%) of Town Center residents use public transportation or walk to get to work. This is closely followed by people who drove alone (29%) and people who work from home (21.3%). Most households in Town Center (51.4%) own one car and 20% own two or more cars, but nearly 30% of households do not have any private vehicles. As the city works to combat climate change, one of the questions we’ll be asking in the Town Center Master Plan is how to make it easier and more convenient for people to choose more sustainable transportation options.

Coming Up

Over the next few months, planning staff will be:

  • Tabling at events and community gathering places

  • Meeting one-on-one with stakeholder groups (Let us know if your group wants to meet!)

  • Distributing doorhangers about the master plan update throughout Town Center residences and going door-to-door to chat with businesses

  • Hosting and partnering with community organizations to put on roundtable conversations targeted for specific user groups and demographics
