 There’s a new KBA for transit regarding stops being relocated at silver spring transit center…

Ride On - Temporary Bus Stop Location Changes around Silver Spring Transit Center

PUBLIC ANSWER:
The Purple Line and Capital Crescent Trail connections construction of the 16-mile east-west light rail line that will eventually connect the Bethesda and New Carrollton metro stations necessitate periodic bus route modifications in response to construction in and around the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center in Silver Spring.  Starting Sunday, December 1st, those temporary changes will impact some Ride On passengers. Ride On routes that will be affected by the changes include 1, 2, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 28 and 129.  Ride On bus stops on the first floor of the transit center will be temporarily relocated out to the street to safely accommodate Purple Line work through Spring 2020. Ride On routes that serve Level 2 of the transit center will not be relocated.  Temporary relocations to on-street locations along nearby northbound Colesville Road (between Wayne Avenue and Georgia Avenue), move to Level 2 of the transit center or move to street bus stops on East-West Highway and Colesville Road.  NOTE:  During the opening weeks of the bus route changes around the transit center, there will be additional personnel stationed around the transit center to help direct Ride On users to the temporary bus stops.  There also will be signage and maps placed around the center to help riders. <p>
Please see link below for more information for planned road closures and general project information including the bus relocation street map and transit center map.
