To the City of Gaithersburg,
In response to the proposed redevelopment of Lakeforest Mall, we at Asbury would like to strongly
advocate for the continued presence of the major bus terminal in close proximity to Asbury’s
entrance.
We provide as evidence the following survey which was sent to Asbury’s residents and staff for
feedback.
Of 299 responses received:
• 44% reported having used the bus stop in their day to day lives
• 34% reported that moving the bus stop would negatively affect their commutes, and 23% were
unsure.
• 72 individuals submitted comments regarding the proposed change of the bus stop location. The
majority of comments focused on concern about Asbury associates getting to and from work.
Others were focused on the role public transportation may play in senior’s futures as they give
up driving.
Having a significant bus stop close to such a large residential community and employer is important.
Many of our AMV staff rely on public transportation to serve seniors at diverse hours of the day and
night. Residents rely on public transportation for basic services and amenities when they can no longer
drive.
Please consider our proposal to maintain the bus transit station in its present location during
redevelopment. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michele R. Potter Executive Director
Joint Hearing - MCC & PC MP-1-21, MP-2-21

Summary of Survey Responses:
What is your relationship to AMV?
2. Have you ever used public transportation beginning or ending at the Lakeforest
Transit Center/bus stop?
3. Would moving the bus stop to another location around the mall - possibly farther
away, possibly "closer to 355" - affect your ability to use public transportation to get to
AMV?
4. Do you have any thoughts to share with us regarding a possible move of the bus
stop?
2. Have you ever used public
transportation beginning or ending at the
Lakeforest Transit Center/bus stop?
Lakeforest Transit Center is located
along the south side of Lost Knife
Road at Odendhal Avenue adjacent to
Lakeforest Mall. It provides access to
7 Ride On and 2 MetroBus Routes
with nearly 4,000 daily boardings. The
structure has a canopy and two bus
bays.
The City of Gaithersburg has released
a redevelopment plan for Lakeforest
Mall, which includes a possible option
of moving the Lakeforest bus stop
"closer to MD 355." While we don't yet
know exactly what this would look like,
AMV is surveying residents and
associates to determine how many of
you use this bus stop for
transportation to and from Asbury, and
whether this change would affect you.
We will relay the survey answers to
the project leaders. Thank you for
taking the time to answer these short
questions.

public transportation in the future. I think
many AMV Associates use public
transportation. For those reason, I would
like to see the Transit Center be as close to
AMV as possible.

[email protected] 4/27/2021 10:16 456709 0 (none) 1. Resident, Yes Yes I think the Transit Center should stay where
it is. A lot of associates use it to get to
Asbury for their work. It is convenient in
that it is right across from the gate. I often
use the 55 bus to get to the Shady Grove
Metro station. It would be a difficult walk
to get out to route 355.

[email protected] 4/27/2021 11:51 456709 0 (none) 1. Resident, No I don't know I have not used the public transportation
yet , but I know residents who have and I
may need to use it when I give up driving
(as my daughter has suggested). I
remember when at a meeting about a year
ago concerning Lake Forest Mall when the
idea of shifting the bus stop was first
mentioned. I though it was a very bad idea
and that Asbury should resist with all its
strength. While many of us may find access
to other modes of transportation (Asbury
services. taxis, uber. friends, etc.; the
people who come from off-campus to serve
our needs often rely on public
transportation. I remember very well when
I moved into Asbury with my wife who had
Alzheimer's disease and was requiring care
around the clock (3 shifts of care), how
important the proximity of the bus stop
was , especially in cold and inclement
weather. The bus stop is an important asset
for residents and we should do all possible
to retain it. Very sincerely, and respectfully,
Gerald Hanson, Diamond 906. X 5203.

[email protected] 4/27/2021 12:40 456709 0 (none) 1. Resident, No No We would presume that residents and
associates who have used or intend to use
Public Transportation, will benefit and
likely increase in numbers, by having a new
bus stop closer to Asbury. Viceversa, if the
bus stop is moved further, it is likely that
while associates may be able to walk longer
distances, Asbury's residents will be lesser
capable of doing so.

the street from the Russell Avenue gate,
prior to the pandemic. Route 57 takes
about 1/2 hour to get to Metro, which is
frustrating. However, if the Center was
moved to another location, and bus route
57 is still going to go by the Russell Avenue
gate, it doesn't matter where the Center is
located. What would be great would be to
be able to get to Metro faster.

adapted to the Bus station location, it will
be so difficult for people who work and the
elderly that use the buses for regular
transportation option, do not move the bus
stop please.

than other means of transportation. Came
from Washington, D.C. and chose AMV (one
of the factors) because there WAS a bus
stop SO CLOSE by and can get to it quickly.

Good morning Council,
Our community needs a health & wellness center like the YMCA back. Ever since the oldYMCA closed, the community and members have witnessed a degradation in the area. Theyouth need a place that's safe and fun to be, the grown ups need a place to stay fit withoutgoing to Rockville, the elderly need a place to stay active and social. A YMCA or LifetimeFitness, with new restaurants would be best for the community. Currently, there is nowhere toget really good food in Gaithersburg. We have to go to Rockville 355, or Germantown to getany main chain restaurant food. Nobody is spending money in Gaithersburg because we haveno attractions.
Thank you,
