Route 32 improvements opposed years ago
September 15, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff
Years ago, the improvements to, what is now deemed to be a dangerous portion of, Route 32 in Carroll and Howard Counties, were vigorously opposed to by proponents of Smart Growth and environmentalists.
Actually, those who wanted to improve the stretch of highway cited safety as the one of the biggest reasons.
I just checked through my history-research files and I don’t seem to have any the newspaper articles that referred to the opposition.
I would be curious as to what is the current position of the folks who have opposed the improvements, now that the loss of life continues to escalate?
Does anyone out there in the Maryland blogosphere remember the opposition and do you have any of the articles available?
