Poolesville doesn’t want to be turned into just another wasteland of ugly sprawl development. I’m with Poolesville on this one.
So am I!!!
Plus I love occasionally taking White’s Ferry.
As much as I agree with you on a greater reliance on transit, when possible, there is NO WAY this great knot of congestion will become completely untied without a second bridge somewhere along the Potomac, preferably connecting two existing highways, such as Sam Eig/I-370 in Maryland with Route 28 in Virginia. The people building the approaches should take care to make sure that all streets that they go through remain connected, like you’ve said before. That connector should look like the JFX in downtown Baltimore, with all its street overpasses.
