The ICC Study Area is located in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, north of Washington, D.C., extending from I-270 to I-95/US 1, and from the Capital Beltway to the Patuxent River. The Study Area encompasses an area of mixed land use with heavy concentrations of existing and planned employment along the I-270 and I-95/US 1 corridors, dense residential development in the southern section and some areas of lower density development in the northern section. There are several major stream valley parks in the Study Area.
The ICC study is being conducted with the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) and the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA) as the lead agencies and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as the lead Federal agency. The study is being coordinated with Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, and the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission in both counties. In addition, several state and federal review, resource and regulatory agencies are participating in the study.
