A letter to the Real People of Frederick

Am I getting old and confused or is there something wrong. The other day I read in the Frederick News post that our area has the 2nd worse traffic jams in the United States. The thing I do not fully understand is that we have a train that goes to the Washington Metropolitan area 3 times in the morning and returns 3 times in the evening. If in fact people are frustrated with their long drive to get to work In the Washington DC area why then are more people not taking that train?
I understand your frustration. It could be years before we get the proper highway funding to straighten out the traffic problems on route 270. All the Candidates running for office in the City of Frederick are talking about this. I am the only candidate that sees the real traffic problems are really here in our own city. I can understand an hour and a half to get to Rockville, but why does it take an hour and a half to 2 hours to get from the north end of Frederick to the FSK Mall on the city bus?
For many of you who have never ridden the transit system in the City of Frederick I assure you that it is worse than your commute to Rockville. We really need to place an emphasis on getting a first class transit system in our city. Many are trying to locate jobs but they cannot get too many of them because of the fact the transit system in Frederick does not run on Sunday or Holidays and does not run early or late enough on the weekdays. You can not apply for a job and say I cannot work this or that day or hour because of no bus. If you do you will not get a job. This is why one of my priorities in running for Alderman of the City of Frederick is to get either a reworked transit system or bring in a whole new transit system that will run 7 days a week, 16 hours a day, and 365 days a year. Our people in the city of Frederick deserve nothing less than the best. If I am elected I am going to give it to them.
