MontCo Council concerned over request for more rapid bus money

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett is asking for more money to study a proposed bus rapid transit system, but some County Council members want results before they fork over the funds.

The council’s Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee voted to move to the full council a proposal for another $1 million to examine proposed routes for the bus system, which would run down dedicated lanes on some of the county’s most gridlocked roads: The Corridor Cities Transitway along Interstate 270, Route 355/Rockville Pike and U.S. 29/Colesville Road.
