Mike Madden of the Maryland Transit Administration who is the Project Manager for the Purple Line will be on the "Political Pulse" TV Show on Tuesday, July 17th at 9:30 p.m. Many
issues relating to the Purple Line (a mass transit system that, if built in its entirety, would run from Bethesda to College Park) will be discussed including:
-Political Considerations relating to whether the Purple Line should be built;
-The effect, if any, that BRAC (Base Realignment and Closing Plan) will have on the Purple Line;
-Studies that are currently being carried out to determine if the Purple Line should be built;
-The financing of the Purple line and, also, the other mass transit projects in Maryland that will compete with it for funds; and
-Whether tunneling is possible or feasible for parts of the planned Purple Line route.
Political Pulse is on Channel 16 TV in Montgomery County.
