Study to Weigh Feasibility Of White Plains Rail Line

Maryland transportation officials will soon begin a detailed corridor study to construct a light-rail line from White Plains to Metro’s Branch Avenue Station, Transportation Secretary John D. Porcari and his top aides told Charles County’s commissioners during a meeting Monday in La Plata.
[...]
Also this week, state transportation officials outlined plans for a major expansion of MARC, the state’s commuter rail service, that would triple capacity over the next three decades. The MARC expansion plans, which include extending service to Northern Virginia and Delaware, do not include bringing service to Southern Maryland.

But that’s perfectly fine, said Commissioner Gary V. Hodge (D-St. Charles). He said Southern Maryland doesn’t need MARC service or Metro service, but rather would benefit from light-rail passenger cars similar to the trolley-type cars in downtown Baltimore.

“If we were to extend MARC to Waldorf, or if we were to extend Metro’s Green Line to Waldorf, that would be a spark for more rapid growth than we are prepared to handle in Southern Maryland,” Hodge said. [Washington Post]

  • 1. · I guess my first question is...what does the term "light-rail" mean? Are they referring to the volume of passengers carried? And wouldn't they be competing for the same federal/state funding that Metro goes after?

    The term "trolley" conjures up views of moving folks within the county, not out of it, in which case I would consider taking it even further South than White Plains. What "rural character"???

  • 2. · And I must admit, this is the first time I've heard a commissioner mention curtailing development.
