[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think widening 270 all around is the way to go.  I do agree the bottlenecks need to be addressed.  But long term planning needs to be increased mass transit options and incentives for people to use them.  That means multiple agencies working together on a long term solution.

Why are there no express MARC trains from Frederick?  Why couldn't there be an express option from Frederick-->Rockville.

[b]Why are there no express metro trains?  [/b]Sync the schedule with the express Marc arriving from Frederick.  Run an express  metro to Bethesda.  At Bethesda, you can catch an express to Metro Center, Tyson's or Silver Spring.

Incentivize HOAs to provide shuttles to the metro during rush hour.  Give a tax break on the community land that the HOAs own if they offer a shuttle.

Encourage businesses to offer telecommunting options to employees through tax incentives.

Build a shared federal work facility in the Frederick area so that if you work for the gov't, that can become your office.  No need to build separate facilities for each department.

There are no metro trains anywhere, because there's no express track on which to run them.  Metro planners, when the system was conceived, only built two tracks.  A third track would make live infinitely easier all around - could be used for repairs, express trains, etc.  But it doesn't exist.  [/quote]
