New State Scoring System ‘Not Good News’ For Worcester

SNOW HILL – Changes in legislation could mean an increase in costs associated with transportation projects for Worcester County.

During a meeting last week, county staff provided the Worcester County Commissioners with an update on changes associated with a bill passed by the legislature earlier this year. The bill (Senate Bill 307, Chapter 30 of the Acts of 2017) requires that the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) develop a project-based scoring system for major transportation projects.

“It’s not good news…,” said Ed Tudor, the county’s director of development review and permitting. “It seems like it’s gotten much more complicated than it used to be unnecessarily.”

City Fail - seems the state told you how they felt about your prioritized Route 90 additional bridges. Aside from Fat Chance, better not think the Route 50 bridge will work forever either.

Build that wall in the median of coastal highway for $4M though. Buy those new $50K retrofit Jeeps for the boardwalk trams...(back to the 1990's when we had Jeeps pulling the trams). Plans on building that parking garage downtown too!!!!!!!!!!

Ha.
