I’m in California this week, so I won’t be posting as frequently (and, due to the time change, not so early in the morning).

Et tu Maryland? MoCoCo President Mike Knapp is interested in pursuing HOT lanes for the Maryland side of the Beltway, like those that have just started construction in Virginia. He should get the Purple Line built instead, because HOT lanes don’t pay for themselves and, like all highway expansions, cause even more sprawl. Maryland is already doing too many road widenings.
