2. Bike Lanes Will Be Removed: The pilot program providing bike lanes on both sides of University Boulevard between Amherst and Arcola avenues in Silver Spring is expected to end and the white barriers removed. Residents have until Dec. 17 to respond to a survey on the possible continuation of the program.
