Don't know that closing off the roads <BR>to all but
locals would be a great idea, but really; with all of the new <BR>apartments and condos springing up all over the area, it's pretty much a given <BR>that traffic in our town WILL get much, much worse. Doesn't even have to be <BR>auto traffic, does anyone in town besides myself ride the bus? Most of the time <BR>on the F4, which goes from New Carrollton Metro to Silver Spring, via PG Metro, <BR>you can't even get a seat and many times you can't even get on the bus; it's so <BR>crowded it'll pass you by at the stop. Other local bus patrons in the area have <BR>noticed this, too, the buses are much, much more crowded than they used to be. <BR>Sorry, if I can't even get on the bus to get a seat (or stand), that's not <BR>progress, either.
