Want to know more about the proposed Dale Drive and Manchester stations on the Purple Line? Officials from the Maryland Transit Administration will present plans Monday night for the stations, two of eight stations in Silver Spring.
The 16-mile light rail line will run from Bethesda to New Carrollton and is supposed to open in 2020. The $2.2 billion project is currently wrapping up preliminary engineering plans and a final envinronmental impact statement, Madden said, both of which should be complete this summer.
