Comments on: Governor selects Purple Line Route and Design http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2009/1131/ Helping imagine a great college town for a great university Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:30:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cornelius Davies http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2009/1131/comment-page-1/#comment-174334 Cornelius Davies Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:02:15 +0000 http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/?p=1131#comment-174334 As a graduate of the University of Maryland, I am upset to see the Purple Rail routed through the heart of the campus. It will destroy the nature of campus life. It will be ugly. It may be good for the developers but bad for the school. When you allow the rail to be built on campus you will loser my support as an alumni. It forever change the wonderful institution I have been so proud to call mine. Many parts of the proposed Purple Rail route are poorly planned. The campus route is about the worst. Maps showing it as a part of the Metro system are misleading. It is not. It is also misleading to refer to it as the Purple "Line". The university could well be served by light rail.... But not through the center of the campus.
