i mean he built a hurricane resistant house in MS - maybe he should invest in a "hurricane-resistant" boat to puncture these storms over the open water lol
100% - we need more cross-suburb rail transit. The purple line is a start in MD, but VA needs a lot more. You should be able to take a train between cities/towns without having to always go through DC or do a bunch of transfers.
i am generally of the view that widening ends up creating more traffic (induced demand etc) - but I agree with you all this stretch makes no sense. The lane reduction northbound just creates back-ups. I don't think it should be a priority for MDOT (WE NEED MORE TRANSIT) but they could do something with this corridor to reduce congestion. Rail? Bus rapid transit? Something.
