You may have heard that I am doing a history of MR, andI’d like to incorporate as an important part of it the history of GLUT. It is surely possible that one part of the present crisis/depression might be a return to a greater tolerance for cooperative elements of a family’s budget. Something like this was true in the depression of the 1930s, where choice was assisted by necessity. I have wondered if MR in general, or GLUT itself might make some sense of the nearly4/5 of MR’s population lives in the ethnically -diverse apartment houses. I canthink of some ways in which this might be done—van-carried methods of reaching them; ethnic foods and even restaurants in the closed or abandoned store-fronts; and other things that those who know the area much better than I do can think of for themselves—and I am interested in how all of this would create, perhaps, a new history for a small city. wh

Great post!

In the Arts District on Route 1, you’ll find numerous art galleries with one-of-a-kind jewelry, housewares, paintings, and more, all locally made, plus a bookstore.

On Saturday 12/13, stop by the Lustine Center for the Hyattsville Alternative Gift Fair, where you can turn your holiday shopping dollars into meaningful contributions to local non-profits. Enjoy a bake sale, live performances, and kids activities, too.

Comment on Bring Joe’s Electric Bus to Route 1 by Richard Layman

You all must not have ridden 86/83 buses, which unfortunately have limited ridership up and down the corridor, which is why service is relatively infrequent.

In the mid-1990s, MTA did a study of a streetcar for the corridor, I suggest moving in that direction, and linking with DC.

I think that Joe’s Electric Bus is a good idea. My understanding of the Route 1 traffic plan is that it limits or eliminates left hand turns. If that is true, I would run the bus up and down the center lane (current left turn lane) and coordinate pickup/discharge of passengers with the traffic lights. The advantage would be users would not be caught in the heavy traffic, which may be enough incentive to get some people out of their cars. We might also think about free parking for Electric Bus users and allow bicycles to be carried on the bus.

Thanks
