Silver Spring Transit Center Item Postponed From Thursday’s Montgomery County Planning Board Agenda

SILVER SPRING, MD – The discussion on the proposed Silver Spring Transit Center originally scheduled for tomorrow’s Montgomery County Planning Board meeting has been postponed to a future agenda, likely in late June or July.

Last Thursday, the Board began considering an application for the three-level transit center in front of the entrance to the existing Silver Spring Metro station at Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue as part of a mandatory referral hearing. The mandatory referral provides the Board with an opportunity to review public works projects and provide recommendations on functionality, design, circulation and other aspects. The project is proposed by the county Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
