Transit Needed to Support Growth...ya think?
According to a Baltimore Sun article, the Greater Baltimore Committee is pushing for more transit in the Baltimore region:
One GBC transportation goal is to have a shovel in the ground by spring 2010 for the start of a rail transit line that would carry passengers from Woodlawn to Fells Point as part of an expanded transportation system. It has not yet been determined whether the new line should be light rail or a heavy-rail subway and surface line.
Why, you ask?
"When you look at this region and realize it's going to grow by 250,000 in the next 20 years, you realize it doesn't have the infrastructure that can support that kind of growth," Fry said. "Transportation has the tendency to not be looked at until it's a crisis. We can't afford to sit back and wait and allow congestion to negatively impact our lifestyle or limit our potential for business growth."
Now come on people. Didn't you consider this 15 years ago when you built a light-rail line that doesn't connect with the existing subway line?
