When significant work and detours are coming to the community, I prefer to meet on the street with MD State Highway Adm, MTA Maryland, & MTS. It's important to consider, visualize, and mitigate the impacts on everyone who moves in and through the area. Purple Line

Transit is unsightly? Parking lots are epitome of ugly.
