Council President Stewart will reflect on the recent United in Service and Support webinar and announce the next webinar in this informational series, which is scheduled for March 6 at 7:30 p.m. 

Stewart will discuss the Council’s upcoming vote on Expedited Bill 29-24, Transportation – Parking Permit for Specialized Service Providers, which she is spearheading to assist social service providers in the Silver Spring Central Business District that have been impacted by ongoing Purple Line construction.
