Summary
Commissioners flagged that traffic studies don't have to reach the failing Route 2/4 intersections, and that trip counts rely on national averages that may undercount Calvert's heavy-commuter households. The project dodged a mandatory study at 190 daily trips versus a 200-trip threshold. The county will look at whether to use locally measured trip rates.
