    The document summarizes discussions from a planning charrette focused on revitalizing and developing areas around the Germantown MARC train station in Maryland. Key points discussed include: - Developing the areas around the MARC station, including West Town Center, as safe, lively mixed-use neighborhoods with housing, retail, and offices connected by parks and trails. - Encouraging density and mix of uses transitioning from the historic downtown to the town center to better connect and activate the areas. - Improving connections for pedestrians and adding lighting and activities to increase safety and usage of the MARC station.
