Is it possible or is there a workaround to use Razor syntax within JavaScript that is in a view (cshtml)?

I am trying to add markers to a Google map... For example, I tried this, but I'm getting a ton of compilation errors:

<script type="text/javascript">

    // Some JavaScript code here to display map, etc.

    // Now add markers
    @foreach (var item in Model) {

        var markerlatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(@(Model.Latitude), @(Model.Longitude));
        var title = '@(Model.Title)';
        var description = '@(Model.Description)';
        var contentString = '<h3>' + title + '</h3>' + '<p>' + description + '</p>'

        var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
            content: contentString
        });

        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: latLng,
            title: title,
            map: map,
            draggable: false
        });

        google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
            infowindow.open(map, marker);
        });
    }
</script>
