Per Montgomery County:
The Montgomery County Department of Transportation will be closing Newell Street in Silver Spring to vehicles from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 10, to allow for community gatherings celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day. The special day was formerly known as Columbus Day in Montgomery County and in many other localities around the nation.
