Bike Lanes Temporarily Added to University Boulevard in Pilot Program
University Boulevard from Amherst to Arcola Avenues in Silver Spring is expected to become a shared streets pilot project to enable bicyclists to have their own travel lanes this summer until late fall.
Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration has designed plans with the goal of balancing different forms of transportation to and from commercial, residential and recreational centers in this area of Wheaton and Silver Spring. Travel lanes temporarily will be repurposed adjacent to the curbs on westbound and eastbound University Boulevard, which is MD 193, for bicyclists.
