[RP TownTalk] East Campus development meeting Aug 13 7:30, College Park

[Dwight Holmes]

"Route 1 Growth" blogger asked people to post this to our town lists...

East Campus is the huge mixed use development planned by UMd for the
area bounded by Route 1, Paint Branch Pkwy, and (roughly) the CSX
tracks/Metro station...  Its development will obviously have a huge
impact on traffic on Rt 1, Paint Branch, River Rd (and, by extension,
Lafayette Rd), and Kenilworth.  It will also mean a lot more retail in
our area.

A reminder that the first meeting of the East Campus Community Review
Steering Committee will take place next Monday. Please spread the word
via your town and neighborhood listservs. College Park and neighboring
towns have 17 representatives on this committee and the campus
community has an equal number. VP of Administrative Affairs Doug
Duncan will serve as chair.

As a state agency, the University is exempt from the usual planning
review process. This is our opportunity for input.

Monday's meeting will include a presentation of the developer's
concept. If you have missed this previously, please try to make room
in your schedule. At subsequent meetings the committee will consider
various facets of the development and its impact.

Committee Meetings
Meetings will be from 7:30-9:30 pm in the Visitor Center Auditorium in
Turner Hall.
Monday, August 13 & 27
Wednesday, September 12 & Monday, September 24
Monday,  October 8 &  22
