SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS


1. What do you love about Glenmont and would not want to change? 2. What are the three most pressing issues in Glenmont today? 3. How can Glenmont take advantage of its Metro station (and the possible introduction of Bus Rapid Transit)? 4. What kinds of changes would you like to see at the Glenmont Shopping Center? 5. What other changes are needed in Glenmont regardless of what occurs at the Shopping Center? 6. The vision for Glenmont in the 1997 Sector Plan was:
The Glenmont of the future will be a transit-oriented area. A compact mixed-use center will be the focus of community activity and will establish a sense of place. New development will be concentrated around the new Metro station. Existing neighborhoods with single-family homes surrounding the new development will be preserved and protected.

Is this vision still valid for Glenmont? If not, how would you update it?

IN SUMMARY How do you think people outside of Glenmont view this area? What should Glenmonts image/identity be in the future? Any additional questions or comments?

Please complete and return your comment sheet on your way out. Thank you!
