ROBERT DYER TAKES
PURPLE LINE PLEDGE


As a long-time supporter of transit, and the Purple Line Georgetown Branch alignment, I have again taken the pledge to support construction of this important light rail project.
The Purple Line not only improves east-west transit access, but extends it to areas of Montgomery and Prince Georges County currently underserved by transit. It will also provide important supporting infrastructure for the Chevy Chase Lake sector redevelopment. Lack of such infrastructure has led to highly irresponsible approvals of the Science City and White Flint plans by the Montgomery County Council.
With light rail, improved Metrobus service, new roads and highway improvements, and my proposal to restore Ride On service cut by the council - and most importantly, a change in leadership on the county council, to make all of this possible! - we will be prepared to meet the challenges of the future in Montgomery County.
