New light Rail proposals for Baltimore County

[Michael S]

For anyone living in the Towson area, there is a Town council meet on November 9 at Timonium fairgrounds. About the new proposed light rail though the center of Towson to Ridgley road. It's one of the worst ideas I have seen. Thought you might want to see what our county is proposing. https://www.marylandmatters.org/202...rst-look-at-potential-north-south-alignments/

It'll just accelerate Towson's slide

Great, I just love what the rob and ride has done to every area with stops.

I have lived in Towson all my life. I have seen the changes the Light rail has caused. I used to work with a ex Baltimore county police officer. He told me that when the light rail was down to add a second line. Auto theft in the county went down 80%. I think anyone that lives in this area should fight this.

I'm so glad I live in the middle of nowhere.
I still have the odd shit bag out here in the sticks, but at least they have to take their mom's car or steal one to get here.
Good luck guys.

They should put the light rail stop at the mall. Make it more convenient for the shoplifters

Since when is mass transit a basic right?

The goal is no seperation between the city and the counties. They want one big ******** with the same crime, section 8, homelessness and trash as Baltire city. That way everyone is equal.

Since law abiding taxpayers work hard enough to vacate walking range of publicly subsidized filth.

no one should live within the confines of a bus or rail line , all it does is bring the yoots to your door .

Most of the time, there are more people in cars waiting for the ride and rob to cross than there are people on the train.

I grew up in Towson. It's sad to see what it's become and where it's headed. Thank Johnny O. and his friends for encouraging this kind of $#!+.

In Charlotte, criminals loved the light rail. They used it to get to where the good loot was then use the real for get away.
Not surprisingly, property crime went up along the light rail route.

Mass transit should stop at the city line.

I am shocked when I see this. But also at the same time they are pushing ahead with adding light rail though Baltimore county. Towson area. When the state can't afford to keep what they have running.

Aye, and you know they're coming to bring to the mail.

The state is counting on increased rider demand as the EV mandates being to radically increase the cost of used cars and parts. An increasing percentage of the population will be forced into gov't transit.

Just out of curiosity, what is the issue with this?

Where ever the rails go, so does the crime.

Just out of curiosity, what is the issue with this? 1. Multi billion dollar project to add a second light rail that runs next to the existing one we already have. 2. The route is one of the heaviest traveled roads in the area. It will take all the roads to one lane instead of two. 3. Most of the people that live in the area are spread out over miles. So will not do anything to help the existing community. This project will make our area a traffic nightmare. Also along the route they are planning on adding multiple apartment units to an area already over crowded with population. Many of those units will include section 8 housing.
