Title A Resolution expressing and restating the County Council’s long standing opposition to construction of the ICC on the basis that it will further sprawl development, and thus cause or exacerbate an increase in vehicle miles traveled, shift jobs away from the County, and cause substantial local and regional environmental impact and contribute negatively to climate change, and that there is a lack of need for the ICC, that the cost of it is too great and that there are reasonable and better transportation alternatives that will reduce sprawl development and its impacts. Background The proposed Resolution expresses and restates the Prince George’s County Council’s long standing opposition to construction of the Inter County Connector (ICC) on the basis that the ICC will further sprawl development, and thus cause or exacerbate an increase in vehicle miles traveled, shift jobs away from Prince George’s County, and cause substantial local and regional environmental impact and contribute negatively to climate change, and that there is a lack of need for the ICC, that the cost of it is too great and that there are reasonable and better transportation alternatives that will reduce sprawl development and its impacts.
