“Time and time again, we’ve seen examples…of large-scale transit investments harming low-income residents and locally owned businesses. Now…will we let it happen again?” Our own David Bowers and @PurpleLineCC write for @baltimoresun. bit.ly/4cMS8v4

"Our goal is ambitious, but the stakes are high. The Purple Line is a nearly $10b transit project. Its success should be measured by how well it bolsters communities & serves the people who live & work along the corridor" @PurpleLineCC @EnterpriseNow baltimoresun.com/2024/07/19/…

Thank you @PurpleLineCC & @ledcmetro for inviting me to speak about the Purple Line w/ attendees of the @SBANinPlace conference. The Purple Line is an important & needed project, but we have to work together to ensure it doesn’t displace current residents & businesses.

SBAN Member, the @PurpleLineCC, was recently featured in a @Shelterforce article on how underinvested communities prepare for the "painful paradox" that increased funding brings. See how PLCC is working to build affordable housing near the purple line: shelterforce.org/2023/10/06/…

Preparing Underinvested Communities for New Funding — Shelterforce

The work zone at our Silver Spring Library station got a makeover as we wrapped the construction fence with #PurpleLineMD scenes, including the vehicles and alignment map. The signage also lets people know that Bonifant Street is open for business! #MDOTscenes #DiscoverBonifant
