The Purple Line BiPPA sidewalk proposal for the Long Branch station proposes the installation of 5-foot-wide, ADA-compliant sidewalks and ADA curb ramps on roadways within a half and quarter mile of the new station in Silver Spring. Enhancing cycling and walking facilities, while emphasizing safety and accessibility, the new sidewalks and curb ramps will allow Purple Line users to be more connected to communities throughout Montgomery County and the DC area.

The Public Hearing will be recorded. The recording will be available for viewing in the Project Documents section of the project website by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.

The sole purpose of a public hearing is to allow residents an opportunity to present oral and/or written testimony concerning the design of the project. The information presented may influence the final concept plans. The hearing will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run through 8:30 p.m.

WRITTEN TESTIMONY CARRIES THE SAME WEIGHT AS ORAL TESTIMONY. Written testimony for consideration and questions may be submitted via the online testimony form on the project webpage in the “Participate” section or via email to the planning specialist, Lori Main, at
