Community meeting to be held to address traffic concerns

Leonardtown, MD – With traffic congestion a major concern for residents in the north county, the Department of Land Use and Growth Management (LUGM) is undertaking a study to identify a north county parallel road. The road would run east of Three Notch Road, extending from Mohawk Drive to MD 6.

LUGM will hold a meeting to discuss a proposed north county parallel road on Wednesday, May 18, from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Charlotte Hall Library. The library is located at 37600 New Market Road in Charlotte Hall.

A consultant has been hired to identify possible locations for the planned road and determine impacts from various road alignments. Maps depicting current road conditions will be on display at the meeting.

Input from the community is needed. LUGM reminds residents that this is just the first step in the overall design, development and implementation process of the North County Town Center Plan. Citizen participation is necessary to develop a plan which reflects a community they call home.

Questions about the meeting or the North County Town Center Plan should be emailed to northcounty@stmarysmd.com.
