I'm the OP again, and the bolded is just dumb. I live on a busy street in MD that gets a ton of commuter traffic from NIH and elsewhere. I wish it were different but the reality is if you live near a major locus of employment, [b]those employees have to have some way to get to their jobs[/b]. Of course MoCo and the state of MD have to operate a transportation system that enables commuters reach to those facilities. Ideally, that design also benefits those of us who live nearby, by preventing massive traffic jams or cars speeding through neighborhoods with elementary schools. I would never advocate that the state or the county block cars (including many DC commuters) from reaching NIH simply because I'd prefer more peace and quiet - that's the bargain I made when deciding to live in a congested area.

If you live in DC and you don't want anyone from the neighboring jurisdictions commuting by car into the city, it's probably time to move to West Virginia or some other rural environment.[/quote]

If only there were ways to get into DC from Maryland and Virginia that didn't involve driving there in a car by yourself.[/quote]
