PIKE AND ROSE PHASE II: A BIRD'S EYE OVERVIEW (PHOTOS)

Even as Phase I of Federal Realty's Pike & Rose development rises over White Flint, Phase II is now coming before the Montgomery County Planning Board.

In these images from Federal Realty and the planning department, you can see what Federal Realty is proposing, as well as where the public use spaces will be.

One intriguing note on Figure "5" where you see various parcels divided up by ownership: Take a look at the yellow area adjacent to the Montrose Parkway. Notice the owner of that piece is the Maryland State Highway Administration. Above that, get out your magnifying glass. By golly, you can barely make out the words, but, sure enough, it says, "Rockville Freeway."

This was likely an off ramp from the unbuilt Rockville Freeway that would have carried exiting freeway traffic onto southbound MD 355.

Similar plots remain for freeway interchanges at Seven Locks and Montrose Road, as well as Falls Road and Montrose.
