Fenton St. Protected Bike Lane Virtual Meeting

| Garrett Hennigan
Potential design for Fenton Street Protected Bike Lane in Silver Spring, MD

Since January 2020, Montgomery County Department of Transportation staff have been busy planning the final major piece of downtown Silver Spring’s protected bicycle network: a protected bike lane on Fenton Street. On November 18, MCDOT is hosting a virtual public meeting to present findings from their study and to share design alternatives for what protected bike lanes on Fenton St could look like.

Please join us to learn about the project and help us send a clear message that Silver Spring needs a bikeable and walkable Fenton Street.

Let’s Get Rolling! Internet Coffee Hour

A metal WABA coffee mug sits on a rock ledge, there are grasses and trees behind. Its a nice vague generic artsy coffee on ledge vibe.

Brew yourself a cup of coffee or tea and come hang out on the internet with us for a bit.

Conversation is open—we often chat about weekend plans to be outside but also take questions about getting into biking, what trails are being expanded, and topics not connected to bicyclists (donuts are good!).

We’ll use Zoom for the meet up. You can RSVP here.

Hosted by a WABA staffer, this is a great chance to ask any bicycling questions (especially if you’re new, Ursula is not a mechanical whiz and cannot answer super advanced mechanical questions)! Join us anytime between 8am and 9am. And you are totally welcome to join voice or text chat only without video.
