[RP TownTalk] Town of Riverdale Park Small Businesses

[James D. Holmes]

I applaud your statement.   Why the Town of Riverdale Park is so adamant 
in obtaining this property is beyond my belief.  The Town promotes Small 
Business Assistance Programs Available to Riverdale Park Businesses on 
it's web site: _http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/services/sbassistance.cfm _

Everything the Town of Riverdale Park has done lately has been against 
the small business owners of the town.  Just look at the Town Center 
project.  The Town would rather build a enormous two story expansion to 
the Town Hall instead of renting office space in the Town Center and 
supporting the small business owner.  There is no parking at the current 
Town Hall and to expand it by 7,000 sq would cause a safety issue for 
first responders to the Town Hall and the Elementary School.  Just look 
at the Elementary School parking lot, it's overfilled every school day 
with twice the number of cars designed for the parking lot.  Teachers 
are double parking, blocking cars in legal parking spaces. Parents do 
not have anywhere to park so they could visit their child's school.  The 
Town has restricted the parking on Queensbury Road to prohibit the 
Teachers and Parents from parking there.


*The Town needs to support it's small businesses.*
