Response to UMD letter to Porcari

December 26th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

On November 19th, UMD Vice President of Administrative Affairs Doug Duncan wrote a letter to, his predecessor, MD Secretary of Transportation John Porcari. In the letter, Duncan and his staff attempt to clarify UMD’s Purple Line position by continuing to express the transitway’s supposed incompatability with the Campus Master Plan, aesthetic concerns, and concern over the [...]

RTCP Receives City Grant

December 21st, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Site Announcements

The City of College Park has granted RTCP $500 through their community services grant program. The money will go towards supporting our hosting costs, and fees associated with some of the services we use such as Flickr.
We will also use some of the money for an advertising campaign and material to promote the site more [...]

Purple Line Redux, Redux

December 14th, 2007  |  by Eric Fidler  |  published in Purple Line

Unsatisfied with the Maryland Transit Administration’s preferred Campus Drive alignment, several sources have told us that President Mote is urging the agency to consider yet another route. This new, southern route (blue line on the interactive map below) would run along Campus drive by the Architecture Building, then south on Preinkert Drive, then would [...]

Extend the Paint Branch Trail North?

December 13th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Bicycles, Environment

We’ve heard the concept tossed around a couple of  times, but what would it actually take to bring this great trail north of its terminus behind Home Depot? Crossing under 12 lanes of beltway traffic doesn’t appear to be the biggest obstacle since there is already a substantial underpass in place for the stream. The real [...]

Community Voices Supporting the Campus Drive Alignment

December 10th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in On Campus Development, Purple Line, Transportation

Over the past four days, over 100 faculty, alumni, staff, students, and neighbors have signed our petition supporting the Campus Drive alignment for the Purple Line on Campus. We have been overwhelmed by this outpouring of support and hope it demonstrates broad-based and diverse support for the alignment preferred by the Maryland Transit Administration’s planners [...]

Sign Our Campus Drive Petition

December 6th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in On Campus Development, Purple Line, Transportation

We have described before why we think the Campus Drive Alignment (purple above) is the best location for the Purple Line in College Park. However, some campus leaders have continued to advocate for an alternative, “Stadium Drive” alignment.
Today we launch a petition in support of the Campus Drive Alignment. Please add your name if you [...]

Climate Change and City Planning

December 6th, 2007  |  by R. Michael Farhoodi  |  published in Environment, Transportation

An impressive environmental movement has been building lately concerned about the warming of earth’s climate and what we should do about it. A major force in it has been the passions of activists, especially college students. The recent Powershift 2007 conference at our campus brought together students from around the country to consider what should [...]
