[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The purple line is the worst and dumbest tax taxpayer funded project in MD history. Such a colossal waste of our money. And yes, Bethesda Row will have much, much more crime and overcrowding. [/quote] The parking lot at silver spring metro would like a word. And so would Hogan’s 495 expansion 😒[/quote] The parking lot at the Silver Spring metro station cost $11 billion? I also don’t think that you realized that Virginia is extending the HOT lanes to the American Legion Bridge. If Maryland does not do something, traffic will be backed up on 495 for miles and miles and miles all of the time, every single day. You anti-highway folks are such NIMBYs that you have no clue about the negative consequences and related economic effects. You probably have some idiotic rationale for why stifling congestion is actually good.[/quote] I actually think [b]most people supported the 495 widening in Maryland to match Virginia’s project to ease traffic.[/b] And when the bridge is rebuilt, in addition to the road widening, space should be left over for some future high capacity rapid transit. That’s how the Wilson Bridge was rebuilt. Only a very small minority of disgruntled people were truly against the beltway widening; many of these fights are to score political points. [/quote] Most people, by now, know that highway widening "to ease traffic" has never, ever, ever, not once, actually eased traffic.[/quote]
