Wonk alert: Plans for growth in a town near you

The Maryland Department of Planning has launched a new feature on its website: a centralized place to find comprehensive plans for growth in towns and counties, draft plans if any are in the works and state planners' comments on those draft plans.

It's geared to the most wonkish, but you never know when you might need to find out if planners think your county government is, for instance, failing to properly account for traffic flow on the road you take to work every day.
