(2) [The] NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION,
THE Administration may close the Jessup Station on the CSX line between Camden

described in subsection [(a)] (B) of this section, the [Mass] MARYLAND Transit

(ii) The impact of future growth in upper Montgomery and
southern Frederick counties, particularly in Clarksburg over the next 5 years, and the
projected ridership for the Boyds and Dickerson stations as a result of that future
growth;
(iii) The impact of the projected growth in upper Montgomery
and southern Frederick counties on traffic congestion along the Interstate 270, Md
State Route 117, and Md State Route 28 corridors and the transit alternatives that are
contemplated to meet any increased demand;
(iv) The methodology used to compute average daily ridership;
(v) The impact on projected ridership on the line if the stations
are closed and later reopened due to impending growth;
(vi) The projected ridership if train stops are increased from
