It's funny. I agree with you that we need to have better ways to get across the Chesapeake however, there are a lot of people on this side of the Bay that would love to see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge shut down for good. It's a trip.
The ferry idea has been floated numerous times, mainly from Crisfield to St, Mary's. Always hits a snag for whatever reason. Money is my guess.
Thankfully this Easter weekend, I personally will not have to deal with Baltimore. Headed up 113 and then up to northern Jersey.....
