"I totally agree with your concerns regarding MARC and the importance of addressing the multitude of issues currently facing MARC service prior to BRAC becoming a reality.
In order to try and make sure we ready and minimize the impact of BRAC, I have been working with other individuals and organizations from Baltimore, Harford and Cecil County on expanding and increasing MARC service along the corridor to Elkton. I have also expressed the need for additional parking to Mr. Wiedefeld, Administrator of the Maryland Transit Administration.
I assure you that I am committed to expanding and improving MARC service."
Thanks, Del.Rudolph! We need all the help we can get! Unfortunately, this response echoes those we've gotten from several other public officials. Sure, they recognize the problem. And they all say they are working towards solutions. But waiting 6 months or a year won't help the folks who will come home tonight to a $30 ticket, or worse, a $240 towing bill. It won't help the people who will pull into the lot tomorrow morning and then miss the train because they can't find a parking place. We all recognize the need for a long-term solution. But we also need some sort of short-term fix RIGHT NOW!
What do you think? Have things been getting better or worse since the petition drive started? Have you gotten a ticket or been towed recently, for example? Do you have any ideas for solutions? Post a comment here or email aberdeenparking@gmail.com.
