[RP TownTalk] District Council to Vote on Cafritz, Monday, July 9, in Upper Marlboro

[Melissa Avery]

How exactly are 2000+ cars that will be residing in the new development going to commute from the Cafritz property to Rt.1? 
What about the cars that will be commuting the the shopping area and the hotel?
What about the employees of those businesses?
What about the safety issues of crossing the street?
There isn't even a safe way to cross from Town Center to the new Town Center Market on foot.
Any one who has  lived full time in the area, tried  to walk around town, use public transportation, taken the mark train, should  understand how inadequate the existing  pedestrian crossings are.
maybe if the MUTC board walked  around town at different times of the day and did their own study they would have some understanding of the problem.
The RT.1 intersection is scary bad, so is the Queesbury crossing. Until that is addressed, it is insane to invite any more traffic to the area.

Just to make sure this doesn't sit out there, while it is technically true that Andrew "may lose part of his front yard to road expansion," it is not what we've been discussing as the way to deal with Cafritz-generated traffic on Queensbury, and I don't think it's going to happen.  We've discussed, with very little detail (because we are waiting on the results of a traffic study) ways to discourage excessive traffic on Queensbury.

All of the roads through Town Center will remain under the Town's control; we can and will implement whatever traffic controls our residents want.

You relay need to live near this proposed development to understand the full implication. Andrew lives on Queensbury road and his quality of life will be negativity affected. He may lose part of his front yard to road expansion. For the residents who will be directly impacted, this development is not theoretical, it is life changing.
