Maryland Transit Administration to expand light-rail parking lot
advertisement
The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) recently began a $2.3 million project aimed at upgrading the parking facility at the Falls Road light-rail station.
Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and scheduled for completion in spring 2010, the project calls for increasing parking capacity from 97 spaces to 197 spaces, constructing a lighted pedestrian path, and installing new lighting, signs, fencing and bike racks.
"This project represents real and immediate progress as we continue to identify ways MTA can accommodate increased ridership," said MTA Administrator Paul Wiedefeld in a prepared statement. "The existing parking lot has been over capacity for several years, resulting in riders being forced to park along access roads and on unpaved surfaces."
