Maryland DOT kicks off $8.1 million truck parking expansion project at I-70 rest areas
Yes, sir! The commonwealth of Maryland is going to spend $8,100,000 of hard-earned taxpayer money to carve out 35 new truck parking spots in two rest stops along I-70.
That works out to be $231,428 per place to empty your piss bottle.
Now, I have not surveyed the land or have any idea what it would actually cost to hire a paving company to scrape away the dirt and debris necessary to pave 35 new parking spaces in an existing rest area and smooth out freshly dumped asphalt, but I strongly suspect it costs no where near $8.1 million dollars to do so.
$231,428 per parking spot

After reading more on the subject, I’m going to walk my last reply back.
Since the money is coming from government funds and not directly from MD taxpayers it probably just for truck parking.
Considering the new evidence of being government money there will probably be delays and cost overruns. All said and done the spots will probably amount to 1mil per
Hey great news we’re giving you extra spots but you won’t be able to use any for the next 2 years!The_vett, Flat Earth Trucker and broke down plumber Thank this. -
So instead of it being full 100% of the time, now it'll only be full 99.9999% of the time
