The supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the ICC is due out December 30. Only 45 days are being allowed for public comment even though the document runs some 8,900 pages. Anyone concerned about this issue should be ready to gear up quickly for a response.

The ICC is slated to be a toll road that would cost $6 round trip. It will cost $3 billion to build, with a quarter billion coming directly out of Maryland’s general funds, and another quarter billion paid for by Maryland bonds. According to a Maryland government study it would not decrease congestion on 495, 270, or 95.
