Maryland scraps 21 million Rt 100 extension plan
Maryland highway chief Bernard M. Evans announced scrapping of the 21 million four to eight lane Rt. 100 extension from the Anne Arundel county line to U.S. 29 in Howard County citing opposition and a restudy that deemed the project redundant. The state has spent about 1.527 million on right of way for 21 parcels but will not dispose of the land yet. Opponents included Howard County officials and the League of Women Voters citing flooding and air pollution concerns for Columbia area neighborhoods. Evans noted alternatives like the Patuxent Freeway or relocating Rt. 32 would serve the same connection between I-95 and I-70.

Maryland Oyster Industry Faces Regulation and Weather Hurdles
Maryland watermen and packers opened the oyster season amid gloom over new FDA rules requiring separation of oysters from different bars and complex labeling. Critics say shipping and shocking make separation impractical. Rep Bauman proposes a national shellfish panel to study regulations before enforcement. Harvest size fears persist after Hurricane Agnew and prior flood impacts.
