23. U.S. SENATORS HOPE TO REVIVE RED LINE: Six years after Gov. Larry Hogan killed the Red Line project, Maryland’s U.S. senators want to do more than eulogize the light rail project that they believe could have been a game changer for Baltimore’s economic fortunes. They want to try to revive it, Jeff Barker of the Sun reports.

24. REVIVING HOPE FOR THE REDLINE: Maryland’s U.S. senators are working for the revival of a scuttled Baltimore-area subway line by including a provision for it on President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, Bruce DePuyt reports for Maryland Matters. But the enthusiasm of advocates is tempered by the sober reality that many pieces would need to fall into place for the resurrection of the Red Line project, which was canceled by Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. in 2015.

REVIVAL OF RED LINE PUSHED: Spurred by a trillion-dollar federal infrastructural measure, a group of Baltimore lawmakers is seeking approval for a bill to revive the Red Line, a rail project that Gov. Larry Hogan (R) killed early in his tenure. House Bill 632, would require the Maryland Department of Transportation to move “promptly” to plan and seek federal approval for an east-west rail line on the alignment envisioned for the Red Line.
