There has been so much going on with Metro, its safety, maintenance, and financing now and for the future that I thought I would roll up the articles that have been published in the neighborhood newspapers to address our question, how exactly will Montgomery County achieve the 50 percent non-auto mode share promised in the White Flint Sector ‘Plan.’ And, according to the ‘Plan’ when will this be achieved? Is there a Plan B in case the 50 percent target is not reached? Well, of course, the second question is easy to answer. No. There is no Plan B. And the corollary question, what then? Answer from the Council: So what. It is only a ‘Plan.’
Most recently, a study was completed describing in some detail the problems with Metro. The report was presented by David Gunn, General Manager of WMATA from 1991-1994. Thanks to pushing by Congress to make this report public, including our own Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), the study was made public in late April. And, here it is!
