As you may know, the staff of the Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning has recommended that the plan for the downtown civic center include more open space rather than build an ice skating rink, as was proposed. Many residents in Silver Spring are weighing in on the differing proposals and one community even started an online poll to gauge public opinion.

I encourage everyone to read more about the issue, take this quiz and add your comments below. I will share our neighborhood’s thoughts with the Silver Spring Regional Center and others.

    I hope many people will participate in the survey. While not perfect, it will certainly be viewed and appreciated by Park and PLanning and other stake holders.

    If you are interested in a youth view of public space in downtown Silver Spring this is a web version of “Finding Our Turf,” a youth documentary produced by the Silver Spring Youth Collaborative in the summer of 2006. This is a big file (25 MB) so be patient. The project was directed and edited by Silver Spring’s own Lisa Jaeggi.
