Good to see partnership between @mcdotnow.bsky.social, City of Gaithersburg, and the Lakeforest Mall developer for a better Lakeforest Transit Center.

This facility must be safe, clean, and reliable for Montgomery Village transit riders who rely on it to access Metro, Montgomery College, and more!
