Maryland Purple Line Neighborhood Meetings Go Virtual in May

The Maryland Transit Administration will hold seven Purple Line Community Advisory Team meetings in May, featuring representatives from local communities, civic and business associations, and municipal governments.

The meetings will cover the Purple Line communities of Silver Spring (May 7), University Boulevard (May 9), Bethesda-Chevy Chase (May 14), Greater Lyttonsville-Woodside (May 21), and Long Branch (May 23).

“Progress of the Purple Line has reached an exciting period, and our team looks forward to sharing this progress with the public,” Purple Line Senior Project Director Ray Biggs II said in a press release. “Our spring CAT meetings will show future Purple Line stations taking shape, miles of installed track and completed neighborhood improvements such as the Talbot Avenue Bridge.”

Representatives from Purple Line Transit Partners and Maryland Transit Solutions will provide area-specific updates and overall project information; each meeting will allow Community Advisory Team members and residents to ask questions.

The virtual meetings, hosted via Microsoft Teams, will occur from 6-7:30 p.m. The schedule for specific neighborhoods is as follows:

  • Thursday, May 2: Riverdale Park – New Carrollton
  • Tuesday, May 7: Silver Spring
  • Thursday, May 9: University Boulevard
  • Tuesday, May 14: Bethesda-Chevy Chase
  • Thursday, May 16: College Park
