Given that he killed the Baltimore Red Line and gave back the federal funding for it? |
Is this a joke? The red line is buried. Baltimore has since allowed development on major parts of the proposed right of way. That’s why they are talking about some type of modified BRT-type service. |
Eh? No. The Red Line was supposed to be light rail. It could be light rail again. |
I can argue a restrictive tax on capital gains is bad for the country..it would reduce large scale transactions of assets/businesses. No one is right, vote for what is in your family's best interest. |
The latest proposal is for a N-S subway from downtown to Towson under Greenmount Ave. Maryland will soon apply for federal funding for this new Baltimore Subway Link line. |
I usually try to vote for what's in society's best interests. "What's in it for me" is not a good guiding principle. |

It’s behind a paywall, but here’s the details on the new grandiose plans for the Baltimore Subway Link. It would be cool if they can snag the federal funding with Hogan’s help.

How are you out here talking about stuff with such authority but so ill informed. https://digitaledition.baltimoresun.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=2552b731-12a8-434b-a01d-e89083d98053 |
They are still studying whether it will be a subway, light rail or BRT. Most likely it will be a BRT. |
BRT? So cheap. No vision. Oh well. (All the rapid bus routes the Hogan administration designed in place of the canceled red line fizzled out. BRT will likely fizzle out too.) At least Baltimore will get an amazing new Harbourplace designed by a European star architecture firm. That is, if city voters in the fall approve the referendum. Fingers crossed. |
The point of transit is to move the most number of people the most efficiently. Some people seem to think the point of transit is aesthetics, “placemaking” and developer boondoggles. |
And when Hogan is in the Senate, he will definitely not be a cheerleader for a revived red line in any mode. That would be admitting his administration made a mistake in cancelling it. I could see him supporting the N-S line in Congress however, especially if it goes through or near Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus. |
I usually vote Democrat but I like Hogan a lot. |
