Five yrs ago, @GovLarryHogan killed the new east-west transit line for Baltimore while approving a new line in the DC burbs. That project is now in chaos--the builders have walked away from it. To keep it going, MD will take $$ from...transit in Baltimore. washingtonpost.com/local/traffica…
Flashback to 2015 Washington Post editorial cheering the approval of the DC Purple Line: "Simultaneously, Mr. Hogan made another good call by killing a major transit project in Baltimore, the Red Line, which never made transportation or financial sense." washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-gre…
The big-picture story of how we got here: placesjournal.org/article/the-th…
Wow, from normally pro-Hogan WaPo: "Rarely are failures of public planning, administration & good sense as glaringly visible as what is unfolding now in the suburbs of DC, where a $5.6 billion, 3-decade partnership to build a 16-mile light rail line is on the verge of collapse."
"...miles of ripped-up roadways and half-finished bridges and tunnels — a tableau of dysfunction and a fiasco for all to see. Amid this blight, there is radio silence from Gov. Larry Hogan." washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-p…
