it's bad but also weird.

i think that would be great, and it seems like doing a pilot where they just stop letting traffic on howard would be fairly straightforward.

well primarily i mean the fact that major stretches go through some of the least densely populated parts of the metro. also going into existing freight right of way limited the connectivity of the stations to the areas where they are located. but howard street didn't have those challenges, if the light rail was given priority over traffic lights, if there were larger shelters, if it ran more frequently it could be much more beneficial.

one reason the light rail is the way it is is that it went largely into existing right of ways that were primarily commercial. the howard street stretch connects those two chunks, and could be a lot nicer.

i've been picking up trash around my neighborhood for more than 10 years. it makes no impact whatsoever beyond those specific pieces of trash going to the incinerator rather than the bay.

besides that people just throw their trash on the ground and it has nothing to do with recyling.

every time someone complains about the trash somebody pipes up with this recycling bullshit. do people think the city started being covered in trash 25 years ago.

Do people just say fuck it and chuck whatever is in their hand in the nearest bush??

they drop it right where they're standing, the wind blows it into the bush.

yeah the flow of traffic feels much safer now, for whatever that's worth.

when they first turned on the difference was noticeable. it's still better than it was a year ago but you do see people trying to weave at 80 again. the crash data will be interesting.

Chap is the go-to bureaucratic shit hole for people who want to obstruct new housing.

bikes are supposed to follow the rules of the road. ironically that type of street is one of the safest types of streets to bike correctly on, low speed crowded one way streets you can go almost as fast as a car. sometimes on huge roads you will see people counterflow but that's so they can see whats coming at 45mph. sounds like this guy was just taking a shortcut.

Unrelated to weather - get there early. Last time i flew out of bwi that early they only had one security checkpoint open.

If that dont make you wanna break stuff...

i'd say it's pretty clear i think that he does NOT do those things.

Much needed expansion of I-270 and I-495

the failure and imminent cancellation of this project can sort of be understood as a benefit for public transportation.

not that you need any special knowledge to say throwing a pick is bad but Bill Fagerbakke played defensive line for Idaho for one season.

this story is from 4 months ago, this bill went nowhere, it was introduced by a retiring councilmember for completely inscrutable reasons, maybe as a stunt.

who, in your feeble mind, is in charge of the government of maryland.

the Sun says 5 people suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Fitting that he does it here, the land of grand closing.

darling, baltimore is a bad city for almost everything.

what happened to everything. places that needed to scream last call 3-4 years ago are deserted at 9.

What the fuck am i reading here

people here already act like maryland is a "if the other person made you mad" state
