Leventhal and Knapp's own windshield perspective: The Gazette discusses ACT's suggested transit alternative to widening I-270. Councilmember George Leventhal pooh-poohs alternatives, saying that the Council's job is to "make it easy for [people] ... to drive." They shouldn't make it harder, but when you're talking $4 billion, it's reasonable to ask if it's better to make other things easy instead. Mike Knapp, meanwhile, appears not to have read the plan, since he thinks it extends the Red Line underground through Gaithersburg instead of in a freeway median. (Comment)
Germantown parking district: Montgomery County Council staff are recommending creating a parking district in Germantown, to pay for regular cleanup and maintenance of the streets and encourage transit use (if, eventually, they get transit). Councilmember Mike Knapp, who represents the area, supports the concept. (Gazette) (Comment)
