Jim, thanks for writing about MD SHA. I think they receive far too little scrutiny here at GGW though their policies have significant ramifications, especially in the close-in suburbs of PG and MoCo. I hope we'll see more stories from you in the future.
I think, in general, the SHA really doesn't know how to deal with the close-in "streetcar" burbs and they do a fairly poor job of it. They are overly concerned with "the standards" and LOS and not particularly interested in the context of these thoroughfares and how they relate to the communities they move through. It was, I'm told, once an innovative department, but they are well behind the times today.
