Do these people not commute to work? This area is seriously underserved road-wise and it’s mostly because of these anti-highway whiners.
I’m fair about this - I don’t want a highway in my yard either, but half the reason traffic is so bad getting around DC is that there are no good highways going THROUGH the city and same thing with Baltimore.
I realize the ICC isn’t in the city but it would relieve surface road traffic a lot - sometimes you have to look at the entire net benefit of such a thing.
I can't stand these NIMBY whiners. If these losers had been around in the 1950s and 1960s the Interstate Highway System would never have been built. They hold our country back.

What needs to be done is this... and yes, I am dreaming, I know... down near Richmond, VA, build a highway that starts at the northeastern-most corner of I-295 (near its eastern exit with I-64) and have it roughly parallel US-301. Have this highway continue into St. Mary's County and Calvert counties in Maryland. Continue across the bay into the Eastern Shore (now I am really in la-la-land). Have this highway roughly parallel US-50 and US-301 into Delaware and connect it to Delaware Route 1. If you really want to speed things along, build a second crossing over the Delaware River and have it hook into the NJ Turnpike. The grand result of this is that Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and DC are bypassed. To make a highway more acceptable to the residents of the areas where it would be built, you limit the number of exits.
