Purple Line Gains Momentum
August 18th, 2006 | by David Daddio | Published in Purple Line | 1 Comment
The purple line appears to be gaining political support according to the Washington Post and Washington Times. The project, that would likely provide a direct link from the College Park Metro to campus and on to Silver Spring and Bethesda, had dropped off the map in recent years. Now, more than 120 elected officials and candidates have signed onto the transitway; building a bipartisan consensus and making it a critical election year issue in PG and Mongomery county. Both Maryland Gubernatorial candidates support the project as polls show approval for the project topping 78% in Mongomery County.
“A massive number of us are seeing purple,” said Delegate William Bronrott, Montgomery Democrat. “After two decades of controversy, a strong consensus is finally forming that the time has come to build the Inner Purple Line.”
