entire neighborhoods have been built around stops on the planned Corridor Cities Transitway, which would have connected Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Clarksburg to the Red Line, and all for nothing

It's Official. @GovLarryHogan has killed the Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT). The latest Consolidated Transportation Plan (CTP) released by the Department of Transportation has officially deleted the CCT from Design and Engineering. 1/

one of the smartest things MoCo ever did was, starting in the 90s, require new developments along I-270 to set aside space for a new transit line. you can literally follow the CCT route through these neighborhoods

and these neighborhoods are fairly dense (by suburban standards) filled with the kinds of homes that zoning & neighbor opposition make very hard to build closer in, near existing transit lines

18. I think Clarksburg (pictured) is actually quite lovely, and Montgomery County did an okay job planning it. justupthepike.com/2017/08/this-n

we built these places around transit and walking and people moved there under the promise that they would get transit. we did a good thing, and it’s frustrating, and embarrassing, that this could all be undone so easily...again and again

Hogan is just awful, and it is quite frustrating how so many democrats voted for him just so they could say “see, I’m reasonable and willing to vote for a moderate republican”

Very frustrating but not surprising. When I was canvassing for Jealous, so many democrats were voting for Hogan. Hogan is not a centrist, he killed the Red Line to make bigger roads in rural areas.
