Probably will get flamed for this, but 6 lanes up to Frederick makes sense, and doesn't involve any additional right-of-way. Don't have an opinion (yet) on the rest of the 270 widening proposal, though instead of ETLs, SHA should be considering HO/T lanes instead (since with ETLs, HOV users still have to pay).

On a related note, I've noticed that A LOT of people in this region have angst against HO/T lanes. Perhaps because of the way the regional governments around here have gone about it (i.e. via public-private parternerships where the private entity gets the profits). Back in my hometown (Minneapolis), proceeds from the HO/T lanes (currently along I-394, under construction along I-35W) go to support bus service in the HO/T corridor.
