Presentations and updates on major transportation projects in the area was the focus of the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board meeting on March 10.
The Purple Line, the Takoma/Langley Bus Terminal, Bus Rapid Transit and the DC Trolley were the hot topics discussed as dozens of residents asked for more information on what’s next for transportation development in the Silver Spring Regional Area.
