Like you said, people naturally slow down when driving southbound just at Brookeville Road before hitting the curve. The curve slows cars down.

It’s mind boggling that we’re spending $50M on this bypass. This was an unnecessary project spearheaded by one woman with too much power.

There’s no safety issue. No pedestrians. [b]No “town.”[/b] It’s a smattering of houses. No businesses. The house on the corner in question is a rental. You literally never see any people on the stretch of road we’re spending $50M to protect.

Boondoggle. [/quote]

I’m 8:58 and yes, that corner is a town but in name only. It has some beautiful old homes and the Brookeville Academy, but really that’s it. It’s not a town in the way that most people think it is like Ellicott city, Mount airy, historic Frederick.

"The Town of Brookeville is one of 157 incorporated municipalities in Maryland. Municipalities are towns or cities that are self-governing under the Maryland State Constitution. Most commonly, municipalities have been incorporated by an act of the Maryland General Assembly. The Town of Brookeville was Established in 1794 and Incorporated in 1808."

While we're at it:

Frederick is a city: https://www.cityoffrederickmd.gov/

Ellicott City is not a city (it was disincorporated in 1935).

Mt. Airy is a town: https://www.mountairymd.org/

So you got 1 out of 4 right.[/quote]

Ok! [/quote]
