The Argument for a Heavy-Rail, Beltway Metro Line

November 15th, 2007  |  by R. Michael Farhoodi  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

Note: The following opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Rethink College Park, nor the views of other RCP contributors. Rethink College Park is always interested in contributed articles from community members.
With Purple Line’s cost-effectiveness as well as location on the University of Maryland campus being debated, perhaps we should take a look [...]

University View Pictures Released

November 14th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Raymond Towers, University View, University View Overlook

As we reported Sunday, the University View plans an absolutely massive phased expansion – 434 units (1,416 student beds) and a whopping 30,000+ S.F. of retail. The 1st phase is planned to take place by 2010 (directly in front of the University View) with the other phases (including a parking garage) materializing by 2012.
Special thanks [...]

Route One Meeting Tomorrow

November 14th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in General College Park, Route 1

We received this information from the office of County Council member Eric Olson about the meeting we have listed on our calendar regarding Route One growth.
This Thursday, November 15th, Council members Olson, Dernoga and Campos are sponsoring a forum at the College Park City Hall to discuss the underlying plans guiding growth on the Route [...]

UMD Ignores Burden of Proof on the Purple Line

November 13th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

SEE INTERACTIVE MAP
There is something about human nature that makes every person want to put their pen to a map and draw their own alignments for transportation infrastructure. Go to any Purple Line Focus Group meeting and you’ll understand this phenomena. Everyone is encouraged to participate in this process, but regular citizens rarely if [...]

Tons of New Student Housing and Other Development

November 11th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in City Garage/Condos/City Hall, Housing, Raymond Towers, University View Overlook

As we’ve noted, the student housing landscape in College Park has changed dramatically in the past 6 months. Developers are falling over themselves to propose new projects.
Otis Warren/ Steve McBride (best known for building the University View) were at the City Council meeting last Wednesday. They are now proposing a 12-story, 154 unit (516 bed) [...]

How to Get an “A’” in Campus Transportation

November 9th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in On Campus Development, Purple Line, Transportation

The latest installment in the campus debate about the proper location of the Purple Line on campus comes in the form of two op-eds, one by graduate student Danny Rogers and another by myself today. In mine, I analyze some of the data released by the Maryland Transit Administration last week. It turns out a [...]

After 50 Years, ICC Gets Final Go Ahead

November 9th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Transportation

Major construction to begin within days with the full road scheduled to open in 2012. SHA’s Environmental Impact Statement apparently litigation-proof:
- See Washington Post Article
- See Baltimore Sun Article

Historic District Inching Through County Bureaucracy

November 8th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in Historic District, Old Town

One of the most important policies relating to the future of downtown College Park continues to make its way through a convoluted approval process that involves more lawyers than College Park Residents.
When it is implemented, the Old Town Historic District will require property owners within the designated area (shown on a map here) to apply [...]
