That’s the territory where my wife grew up. There is probably 2 million people
within 5 miles of the route.
Before the Beltway, the only route to go east-west was a 2 lane road called
East West Hwy.....which is now 2 lanes each way, with a ton of lights and
always packed......and you know what the Beltway looks like on any giving
day.......

Thank you Peter.
I think those types of construction are good for the community’s and general
quality of life for the residents. I expect there is sufficient population
density to have a chance of working.

The Purple Line…………..the DC area is getting another line…….this one, built
by the State of Maryland across DC’s Northern suburbs.
While it will tie into the subway system at multiple points, it is NOT a
subway. It is more like the Light Rail system that exists in Baltimore.
It is an east-west route from New Carrollton to Bethesda/Chevy Chase taking
a route through College Park and Silver Spring.
