Going back to the 695-95 junction... There are a lot of ramps there, it seems more than necessary.

I'd like to see a similar project at 95 and 695 on the south part of the city. Traffic on 95 gets backed up really far just because the left lane is jammed for all of the people trying to get from 95 to 695 W.

I'd also like to see some development around this new project for the beltway and 95 up north. It seems from those aerial shots that there is no development there whatsoever. If we are going to invest so much money in such a project, there needs to be development there too.

One final thing: there was a meeting last week about the potential new town center in Catonsville. Locals are worried it will ruin the small-town atmosphere.

Harbor East. How come they only list 7 locations in Md ? NorthaBmore says there is 4 in MoCo ... Now, there are 2 in the city and 2 in Annapolis , that I know of.

I wrote about this on of the baltimore devp. threads but it basically 2 full flyover ramp intersections stacked on top of one another, One for regular 95 traffic, one for the express toll lanes.

In my opinion it is overkill.

I asked if it could be made sticky in the third post. That was back in August though.

Since when they started building them for this project.

The current plan is for them to run from the rebuilt 895/95 split to a tad above the white marsh md43 exit. There are plans to extend them all the way up to md 22 but those are still in the community discussion phase.

Wow, I didn't know about that component of the project. That's great news though, the traffic on I-95 is horrible! They should add express lanes between baltimore and DC too, that would be a dream come true.
