[RP TownTalk] mural and purple line

[Dannielle Glaros]

I just wanted to say that I am very excited to see a mural under  
410.  I walk past that area often and always thought some color would  
be helpful.  In the last year, we've also had significantly more  
graffiti in this area, so I think some art work will hopefully  
prevent future vandalism.

As for the purple line, there seems to be a a lot of confusion about  
the proposed alignments.  The mayor is correct that the there is  
still much work to be done even after the Governor decides the  
preferred alignment.  There will be more meetings in the future  
especially as MTA and the community work to figure out the best  
possible alignment to move the purple line thru the Kenilworth Avenue/ 
410 intersection.  As Kate suggested there are three possible options  
on the table, one of which still needs further study.  I hope those  
who have questions or concerns about the purple line participate in  
future meetings.  Unlike any other community of our size along the  
purple line route, Riverdale Park will have two purple line stops.  I  
am personally excited about the opportunities the purple line will  
bring to the community as well as the environmental benefits the  
project will yield, but like any project of this scale there will be  
changes and challenges to address.  On a side note, you are welcome  
to contact me, if you need more details on the purple line or have  
process questions, but it is best to contact me at work  
dmglaros at co.pg.md.us or 301-952-3060.  I spend a lot of time focused  
on the purple line route, so I would be glad to share any  
information. I just don't have a lot of free time to check my  
personal email, so please connect with me via work.

Also, one other great thing about belonging to Town Announce is that  
the agendas for work session and council meetings are available to  
help you decide if there is a topic you would like to attend to hear  
more about or voice an opinion on.  I find this very helpful because  
I can rarely attend the meetings due to work conflicts, but can email  
my ward 2 rep, Kate Sharpe, and ask her more details or share my  
thoughts.  One other great way to participate in the town and  
decision making is to join a town committee.

Take care,
Dannielle
