[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm happy to see the push-back.  We'd definitely be inconvenienced if the ramp were closed. [/quote]assuming you live in the general area or in VA can you explain why it would be inconvenient for you if they closed the ramp from 1-7pm weekdays? Do you go into MD everyday in that timeframe? Or are you thinking it will make other neighborhood/school areas backed up with traffic? I’m trying to figure out the good verses bad.[/quote]

Most NOT in favor are traveling *from VA to MD at the evening rush hour*, which happens to be about 3:30 to 7.  Some evenings are gridlocked, and there is clearly one cause, so if the cause is stopped, the traffic is dispersed elsewhere (not just one place).   The Marylanders take offense because they think only the rich people object to the traffic, and want the closure, which is not the case. It is the same reason that the Marylanders block the box, they think they are sticking it to the man, but they are really sticking it to every day people - renters and other people who live work in that area. So, the closure was deemed necessary as part of the study. [/quote]

Frankly, I'm not interested in making the MD drivers' commute smoother at the expense of my kids getting home from Cooper and Langley in a timely fashion.  They should have to use the toll road, like everyone else, and not clog up our local roads.
