In-Person Public Meeting on the 13th Street/Burlington Avenue Separated Bike Lanes Project in Silver Spring to be Held on Thursday, Nov. 14

On Thursday, Nov. 14, starting at 7 p.m., the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold an in-person public meeting at the Montgomery College Health Sciences Building, 7977 Georgia Ave., to review plans on the 13th Street/Burlington Avenue Separated Bike Lanes in Silver Spring. MCDOT will present the plan and design and its potential impacts to the community. 

The proposed bike lanes will connect the South Silver Spring neighborhood to Fenton Village and the Metropolitan Branch Trail. The project will add separated bike lanes to 13th Street and Burlington Avenue in Silver Spring, between Eastern Avenue and Fenton Street. The bike lanes will be one-way on either side of the street and will be separated from traffic by a raised median. A construction timeframe has not yet been set.  

Feedback and questions may be submitted by Friday, Nov. 29 to Project Manager Matt Johnson by email at [email protected].  

All information provided including questions and public feedback will become a matter of public record. Materials will be posted to the project webpage no later than 5 p.m. the day of the meeting.
