Md SHA Meets Our Community

On Tuesday evening, February 28, in the cafeteria of Blair HS, folks from the Md SHA set up displays of a proposed detour to lighten the traffic load on the Rte 193 bridge at the I-495 interchange during the planned two year reconstruction project. Since it was a come and go event, attendance varied from minute to minute. I guesstimate that the total attendance was between 200 and 300 people. My number may be short, since I did not arrive until just after 6 o'clock, and the doors were to open at 5:30.

It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Gridlock (Robert Thomson) of The Washington Post. He was generous with his time, and seemed amused by the verse and designs of gridlocksmith.

SHA folks expressed appreciation for the input given by members of the affected communities. Gridlocksmith shared some chocolate kisses at the end of the evening, to assure that they left with a good taste in their mouths.

ISCA President, Jill Ortman-Fouse, makes the acquaintance 

of Robert Thomson (AKA, Dr. Gridlock, of The Washington Post).

Md. Delegate Tom Hucker and Dr Gridlock discuss the situation.

Maps, photos and explanations filled the information tables.

As the evening drew to a close, the late hangers-on included, 

(L-R) Robert Thomson(Dr. Gridlock), Benjamin Hokuf and two coleagues 

at SHA, Del. Tom Hucker and Pete Lafen.
