Connector Road

O’Malley Intent on Shoring up Transportation Funding, Backs Away From Gas Tax Hike

September 19th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, Purple Line, Transportation

Governor O’Malley unveiled his plan today to head off a major impending budget shortfall in Annapolis. He has proposed to raise corporate income taxes from 7 to 8 percent with half the increased funds going to higher education and the other half going to transportation projects such as (in College Park’s case) the ICC, the [...]

Rethinking the Agenda – Diamondback gets some things right (and many others wrong)

March 26th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, East Campus, Politics, Purple Line, Transportation

The Diamondback gave so thorough and so nuanced an analysis of Doug Duncan’s selection for university VP of Administrative Affairs that we will deffer to them on the issue. We can’t help but recognize the irony of the selection given the general shuffling of positions statewide. Duncan’s involvement in and audacity during the Downtown Silver [...]

Transportation Hearing in Review

February 1st, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, General College Park, Purple Line, Transportation

The PG County transportation hearing in College Park City Hall last night drew a probably unprecedented number of people to the council chambers. After some short presentations from the county, there was a seemingly unending procession of local politicians and community members lined up for the podium to request that the county government prioritize or [...]

UMD VP Porcari Tapped To Be State Transportation Secretary

December 18th, 2006  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, General College Park, Politics, Purple Line, Transportation

We’re pleased to announce that UMD Vice President of Administrative Affairs John Porcari will be nominated tomorrow by Martin O’Malley to head Maryland’s Department of Transportation. Porcari, who first held the post in the final term of Democratic Governor Parris Glendenning’s administration, has overseen over the past 4 years, UMD’s departments of Facilities Management and [...]

Mote’s Connector Road Letter

December 18th, 2006  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, Route 1, Transportation

We reported the other week that University President Dan Mote sent a letter to the College Park City Council supporting the continued project planning for the I-95 Connector Road. There’s nothing too surprising in the letter considering that the university administration has alway pointed to the project as the “only solution” to CP’s traffic woes. [...]

Connector Road Letter

December 5th, 2006  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, Transportation

We finally received a response (PDF) from Maryland’s State Highway Administration about the proposed “Terrapin Parkway”. Unfortunately the letter provides little, if any, new information on the project (the response also took about 6 weeks). The Diamondback reported last week about a letter that university President Dan Mote sent to the City Council stating his [...]

The Connector Road Non-debate

October 13th, 2006  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Connector Road, Transportation

The proposed campus connector road (our update library page) has been lingering in the background since we launched this site, but we finally have something to bring to the table. After weeks of waiting and a lot of persistence, the folks at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center were kind enough to send us a copy [...]
