We need to realize that our
network of state, federal and interstate roadways in and around the City
of Frederick simply cannot handle any more traffic. It is simply pointless
to continue economic development efforts that will only further congest our
highways. As an example, the confluence of U.S. Route 340, Ballenger Creek
Pike (Md. 351), Jefferson Pike (Md. 180), Butterfly Lane, Solarex Court and
Himes Avenue is the next major traffic jam in waiting. The City of Frederick
is letting residential developers run wild in the area. Meanwhile, the county
is under pressure to provide free water and sewer facilities to commercial
developers. There is no game plan in place to address the traffic problems
that will be the inevitable result of all of this growth.
