[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the highway widening, the plans aren't detailed yet as that's the next phase of the project. As I recall, generally for the Am Legion bridge they will add 2 lanes each way, plus a bike lane. My guess is they'll convert the existing rigth-most "exit-only" lanes (like to Clara Barton) to thru lanes as a way to get more space.

As for Hogan, he got the Purple Line on track, [/b]and he's working on solutions to 495/270 issues. That's more progress-wise than his predecessor and same with anyone at the MoCo-level. The MoCo people in power are pretty good about complaining about any plan Hogan proposes, but never offering a real alternative.

One of Elrich's counter-proposals to solve the 495 problem was to tell people to use the ICC instead. Yes, the road that's been open 10 years -- does he think that Google Maps' GPS isn't already sending people that way, and it's just some secret road no one has ever heard of?[/quote]

This is an incredibly non-fact-based statement.

Here's what Hogan did:

1. He didn't stop the Purple Line
2. He cut the budget for the Purple Line[/quote]

Your “facts” pack any real analysis or critical thinking. Hogan secured federal funding for it. His “cuts” made the entire line possible. https://marylandreporter.com/2017/08/28/democrats-laud-hogan-as-they-celebrate-purple-line-start/[/quote]

No, he did not secure the federal funding for it. He was governor when the federal funding was allocated. He signed the agreement. And his cuts (actual cuts) removed lots of things that people would have liked to have had - including, ironically, the grass tracks that the long-time Purple Line opponents in the Town of Chevy Chase wanted.[/quote]
