Montgomery County MD supports TOD in new Zoning Rules

"The key development issue is getting more housing near Metro," he said. "If you build residential development in close, walking distance to Metro, people are going to use it."

Best Hopes for TOD,

Alan,

I commuted in that I-270 nightmare for years (1984-1991), and this plan is over 25 years too late. This plan addresses new development, not how to deal with the existing mess.

Northern Virginia and the I-270 corridor is a Kunstler poster child.

I commuted in that nightmare too (1996-1999), but don't worry, the ICC is coming!!!

A road planned 40 years ago...I'm sure it's not obsolete or anything...
