#MtRMD Porch Music - Sun. 10/6

The 2019 edition of Mount Rainier Porch Music Night will take place Sunday, October 6, 2-9pm! This annual local tradition is inspired by the 2003 East Coast blackout, when residents who lost power headed outside with their instruments to play music with neighbors.

495-270 Expansion Public Meeting near Mount Rainier

I'm writing to call your attention to an upcoming series of meetings on the badly misguided proposal to invest billions of dollars in widening I-270 and I-495. This is a huge diversion of resources from communities needing reinvestment that creates additional equity problems by incentivizing and subsidizing driving, which many people cannot afford, instead of prioritizing projects that serve people instead of automobiles. Oh, and building. new. highway. lanes. does. not. reduce. traffic.  

I encourage you to speak out against this boondoggle. In their haste to build new highways, MDOT has already dropped the transit alternatives and is moving forward with only options that add lanes:
MDOT SHA recommends Alternatives 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13B, and 13C be carried forward for further analysis and environmental evaluation. All alternatives, other than the No Build, include managed lanes, either High Occupancy Toll Lanes also known as HOT lanes or Express Toll Lanes also known as ETLs, combine congestion pricing and lane management to control the number of vehicles entering the lane to keep traffic flowing.
