Only about 44% of Odenton station’s roughly 2,000 parking spots were occupied on the average workday in 2023, according to the call for developers Anne Arundel County will spearhead a two-acre 1,100 spot garage on the southern end of the lot The state is looking at transit-oriented development not just for MARC, but for Baltimore’s light rail and Metro, which also have been slow to bring back riders since the coronavirus pandemic began in March 2020 And officials repeatedly cite future TOD as one of the driving reasons to build Baltimore’s east-west Red Line light rail which operates MARC and other bus and rail services is tinkering with its own long-term vision to meet that changing demand Commuters aren’t taking the train to get to work as much as they used to which some are using to go to cultural events in Washington “People are using it for everything now,” MTA Administrator Holly Arnold said Monday on WYPR’s Midday, as she talked about this demand change with host Tom Hall She also highlighted a recent agency marketing push for commuters struggling with new north-south traffic since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge to consider MARC train more frequent trains and expanded lines to new destinations according to the results of almost 4,700 survey responses received by the MTA last year Non-riders who completed the survey cited inconvenient train times long travel times and few destinations as reasons for not getting on board The agency’s new MARC Growth and Transformation Plan, which it will present to the public for feedback at a virtual meeting next week, will include a variety of future service scenarios and the investments necessary to make them happen there are strong forces that could restrain MARC’s growth The MTA doesn’t own the track that all three MARC lines run on — they operate by the grace of expensive contracts with Amtrak which owns those of the Camden and Brunswick lines So the MTA can’t just run more MARC trains because that’s what people want It pays Amtrak and CSX per mile and schedules have to be mutually agreed upon The national passenger railroad also is looking toward growth particularly along its busy Northeast Corridor And CSX is gearing up for the planned expansion of port operations at Tradepoint Atlantic which would send some container trains along the same tracks as the Camden Line In 2019, 66% of the time that MARC trains spent delayed was the result of issues attributed to Amtrak and CSX Only about 9% of delays were because of MTA issues But good TOD — and its resulting rider demand — could help the MTA’s case and having Anne Arundel County government as an active partner in the redevelopment His message to developers: “We are ready to partner.” Correction: This article has been updated to correct that there are multiple tracks in the Penn Line corridor and none of them are dedicated specifically for Amtrak or MARC Daniel Zawodny Daniel.Zawodny@thebaltimorebanner.com Daniel Zawodny covers transportation for the The Baltimore Banner as a corps member with Report For America He is a Baltimore area native and graduated with his master's degree in journalism from American University in 2021 He is bilingual in English and Spanish and previously covered immigration issues Here is what's open and closed in Anne Arundel County around Good Friday on April 18 and Easter Sunday on April 20 Anne Arundel County Public Schools: The last day of classes before spring break was Friday Schools and central offices are closed through Monday Federal Government Offices: Open Friday and Monday State Government Offices: Open Friday and Monday Anne Arundel County Government Offices: Closed Friday City Of Annapolis Government Offices: Open Friday and Monday Courts: Open Friday and Monday Parks: Check this interactive map to see the parks closest to you and their hours Pip Moyer Recreation Center: Open for normal hours.

the chickens were clucking at the feet of the congregation the dogs were weaving in and out around the altar during Mass They were happy as could be that they were able to have Mass there in their area.” Copyright © 2025 Catholic Review Media  Print Catholic Review Media communicates the Gospel and its impact on people’s lives in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and beyond Catholic Review Media provides intergenerational communications that inform inspire and engage Catholics and all of good will in the mission of Christ through diverse forms of media Catholic Media Assocation Maryland-Delaware-DC Press Association The Associated Church Press 2025 at 4:47 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the southern half of Maryland and a winter weather advisory for the northern portion The NWS expects 3 to 6 inches of snow around Washington (Jacob Baumgart/Patch Stock Photo)Updated at 4:10 p.m MARYLAND — Snow has begun to fall across the Baltimore-DC region as a winter storm moves in and the evening commute conditions are "rapidly deteriorating," the National Weather Service said Up to 8 inches of snow could fall before the storm moves out Wednesday Moderate to heavy snow will spread over the area by 5 p.m Snowfall rates around 1 to 2 inches per hour are expected The heavy snow will combine with falling temperatures and rapidly stick on all surfaces during the eveningcommute drive slowly and leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle in front of you," the NWS said Drivers can find the latest Maryland highway conditions on live traffic cameras "Moderate to heavy snow is heading toward the northeast and will impact the D.C metro area within the next hour," the Weather Service said about 4: 15 p.m "One- to 2-inch per hour rates are possible as this snow band pushes through Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches are possible in the Baltimore-Annapolis area with another 3 to 5 inches of snowfall possible overnight A light wintry mix will likely continue into Wednesday before converting to rain The winter storm warning covers Anne Arundel Montgomery and Prince George's counties along with all of Southern Maryland and parts of the Eastern Shore "Snow will overspread the area late this morning into this afternoon with the steadiest snow expected late this afternoon and evening," the NWS warning said on Tuesday "Snowfall rates around 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible late this afternoon and evening Visibility may also drop below one half mile this afternoon and evening."
