Maryland’s Intercounty Connector



Cars and Crabs That’s What Maryland Does




Today is the lovely day known as Valentine’s Day also known as Singles Awareness Day. Now what does a day of cupid, roses and messaged hard candies have to do with ICC? Well my friends today my mother sent me a Valentine’s Day package from home, yes home. It’s weird to think that while I am up here in Pittsburgh my little town of Gaithersburg still grows and changes without me. Last time I went home a plot of land that had been vacant since i was born now contains about 12 townhouses with garages and I’m telling you this land was not the big to begin with and yet it now has the capability of adding 24 new cars to the road. Next time I go home I expect even more houses to be built in the vacant land that surrounds my house. Montgomery County is growing so fast that the ICC seems inevitable. How else will we be able to relieve the congestion of the county? but that is exactly what no one seems to be focusing on the how else.

Alternatives:

The Purple Line : a Metro line that would side saddle the Capital Beltway and connect Bethesda, Silver Spring and College Park.

or

If the ICC goes through Maryland Department of Transportation could devote at least two lanes to public transportation i.e. buses, shuttle and carpools. This would lower the amounts of people on the road and would keep traffic at a tolerable pace.

ALTERNATIVES DO EXIST!
