On Thursday, September 30, the Montgomery County
Planning Board will hear public testimony on proposed rail alignments for
the Purple Line. The Purple Line is
referred to as the Bi-County Transitway by the State of Maryland. To sign up in advance to speak, you may call M-NCPPC’s
Community Relations Office, 301-495-4600.
In addition, written comments may be sent to: Derick P. Berlage,
Chairman, Montgomery County Planning Board, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver
Spring, MD 20910, e-mailed to mcp-chairman@mncppc-mc.org or
faxed to 301-495-1320. Information
on the approximate time of the session will be available online after
September 27. Information,
including a map, is also available on the M-NCPPC website at www.PurpleLine.org and at the
M-NCPPC’s first floor Transportation Planning Office, 8787 Georgia Avenue,
Silver Spring, MD 20910. Comments, questions and testimony can be
sent to MCP-PurpleLine@mncppc.org
or to Chairman Berlage. In
addition, a staff memorandum to the Planning Board will be available after
September 27 at the same locations. The County Council directed the Planning Board to
identify preferred light rail alignment(s) for further detailed study by
the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA).
The MTA is evaluating bus rapid transit and light rail transit
alternatives along various alignments.
As the MTA evaluates the alternatives, it is reaching the point at
which they are narrowed down to a reasonable set of alternatives for
further detailed study. These will
be reflected in a document called “Alternatives Retained for Detailed
Study” (ARDS) which will be released by the State in draft form this
fall. The
Planning Board will make a recommendation to the Montgomery County Council
for its discussions at the Transportation and Environment Committee meeting
on Monday, October 4, and then at the full County Council session on
Tuesday, October 5.

invited to comment on the Purple Line
