Metro gets cease and desist order; buses will no longer serve this Md. apartment complex

Starting Sunday, residents of the Forest Hill Apartments in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland, will have to walk off the property to catch the P12 Metrobus.

Metro is discontinuing service to the route after the apartment complex’s owner sent a cease and desist letter to the transit agency.

In November, attorneys for the owners of the Forest Hill Apartments sent the letter demanding Metro stop sending its P12 buses through the roads of the apartment complex, alleging “significant damages” from the buses that, in the words of the letter, were “trespassing through the property.”

The complaint states that the heavy buses damage the asphalt of the roads within the complex off Wheeler Hill Road.

Most European highways are built for 40-50 years; the projected life of American roads is 7-12.
Yep we Cheap-it-out.
