Any idea where I can find said survey?

I-95 Station???

Where was the proposed "I-95" station supposed to be. I'm assuming somewhere in Hartford county but I can't think where it would be. Bel Air/Abingdon?

Feels bad that edgewood is the only MARC connection in my county, but the nimby groups refuse to allow more cause 'look what happened to whitemarsh'

White Marsh is still a nice place???

Sorry for being uninformed, but would this be an above ground light rail system or a below ground metro?

I'm excited for the possibility either way, but a Metro would be so nice.

That makes more sense.

With the exemption of three stops, the blue line is literally our existing light rail.

Well let’s have a field day making it happen. We can’t let the closeted-or-not folks step in the way of progress without running them over a little.

The blue line looks too redundant.

Ed Norton has a movie with a somewhat fictionalized Robert Moses, city planner of new york, as the villain. His grandfather being a city planner would explain his interest.

White Marsh isn’t even a real place. In fact, nowhere in Baltimore County is, technically.

You go to ALDIs for your basics: like Milk, Produce, Cheese, Eggs, Pasta, etc. Then visit a big grocery for the stuff you didn’t purchase. That’s how you’re supposed to do it.

That’s the real secret about Wegmans. I really wish there was one near me but I live in Pigtown and the closest one is either Owings or Columbia :(

Not driving like that for groceries lol

They should have built something like that yellow line 30 years ago instead of the current light rail (although it suits me). Moore will be doing well just to get the red line revived and built even if he has eight years. Anything more than that would be gravy.

It is my understanding that the yellow line is supposed to go down York Road? I have a few logistical questions. It is 2 lanes each way plus sometimes a turn lane. Would this light rail take one of the lanes each way? Would it take up the entirety of York Road? Would cars be traveling next to the light rail?

York Road gets super crazy busy every day during rush hours. Today (Saturday) was ridiculous. Is this light railing designed to alleviate that traffic? As someone who travels on York road regularly, I am trying to figure out how I would use it.

I know those people exist, and I know they’re loud and have money, but I think they’re outnumbered.

I was cold with the heaters earlier this week

I went to the MDOT meeting up in Lutherville and was surprised there were only like 5 people there who were actually for it (out of maybe 300 people there), and surprised at how stupid some of the reasoning was. Examples:

• Public transit is ableist. I am disabled, and i cannot go up and down steps and then walk to my destination. Therefor no one should have public transit.
• Public transit would mean it would take more time for me to get to work, because of all the stops. It would mean I would miss breakfast with my 5 year old kid. Therefor no one should have public transit.
• Public transit is only safe for the people who ride the trains, it’s extremely unsafe for children playing outside. Having rail lines go down our streets would increase the amount of children dying in accidents. Because a train that comes by every 15 minutes is more dangerous than cars that comes by every 5 seconds.

People are so shortsighted.

Welp, he's dead now.

In the early 2ks the light rail tried to run a line to Annapolis, knocked down houses and all and people who didn't want the "rif Raf" stopped it. I hate peoples bs unwillingness to change, and lack of care for anything but them selves.

At what point can a potential crucial part of infrastructure be on the weight of the citizens that live there? At some point it would have to be done and hopefully it gets done because it would be convenient

Yep. Basically they’ll say anything that won’t definitely get them immediately banned.

You able to link a post where there are comments?
