The alignment chosen by the State requires destruction of 57 homes.
The Cashell Estates neighborhood would be destroyed. 16 families, half the neighborhood, would lose their homes to the "Option 1C" alignment selected by Governor Ehrlich. Option 1C is not part of the "Master Plan". The remaining families would have their neighborhood divided by the ICC.
In other neighborhoods, hundreds of people would suddenly be living next to a high-speed toll highway resembling the New Jersey turnpike in appearance, noise, and pollutants.

EVERYTHING you see in photographs on this site could be destroyed by the ICC. Please click the links to learn about some of the real people and real places that the ICC would harm.

"Option C in the Upper Rock Creek area passes through two existing communities, Cashell Estates and Winters Run. This route would effectively eliminate Cashell Estates, one of the oldest residential communities in the planning area, as an intact residential neighborhood."

The Intercounty Connector (ICC) in Montgomery County and Prince Georges County, Maryland is a proposed 18 mile long East-West toll road that would cost a commuter at least $1,500 per year to use!

With financing it would cost at least $166,000,000 per mile to build!!

It is becoming common knowledge that the road would not and isn't intended to solve problems of traffic congestion. The actual purpose of the ICC is to promote continuous over-development in Montgomery County.

The actual effects of the ICC would be increased congestion and decreased quality of life in Montgomery County, and disasterous, irreversible environmental damage in the region.
