Second is a letter relating to the Chestertown bypass. The letter acknowledges the Kent County Commissioners interest in creating the Chestertown bypass.

Rahn, Secretary Maryland Department of Transportation Post Office Box 548 7201 Corporate Center Drive Hanover, Maryland 21076-0548 Re: Queen Anne’s County Transportation Priority Letter - 2017 Dear Secretary Rahn: The “safety and mobility for our citizens” is the driving factor towards the establishment of our local transportation priorities. Attached is a listing of the transportation priorities for Queen Anne’s County for inclusion in the 2017-2022 Consolidated Transportation Plan. Specifically we wish to call your attention to our highest priorities which include funding final engineering and construction of the US Route 50 & MD 213 interchange, funding for additional capacity for the Bay Bridge, critical transportation improvements on Kent Island due to Bay Bridge congestion and improvements for operations of local transit. US Route 50 & MD 213 Interchange Construction of an interchange at US Route 50 & MD 213 is a long standing priority for Queen Anne’s County. Over the last 20 years land acquisition and design work has occurred clearing the way for final engineering and construction of the project. As Route 404 is being dualized to add capacity and the trough traffic on US Route 50 continues to increases, this overpass becomes essential to safely move traffic between US Route 50 & MD 213 as well as providing safe access to Chesapeake College, our regional Community College serving five counties. This project is the number one component of the long-range US 50 Ocean Gateway project. William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bay Bridge As projected in the Bay Bridge Life Cycle Cost Analysis, completed by MDOT in December 2015, traffic impacts and congestion within the Bay Bridge Corridor will continue to deteriorate. The increase in traffic and limited capacity of the Bay Bridge as the single crossing of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland will result in continued and consistent delays if not addressed now. The delays on this primary transportation and freight corridor impacts the daily operations of many Maryland residents and businesses but impacts a disproportionate number of Queen Pg 2 Anne’s County residents making it a top priority. It is vital to the safety and mobility of Queen Anne’s County Citizens that steps be taken now to move forward with the NEPA process, design and funding of Bay Bridge improvements. Due to both the local impact and regional significance of this facility it is essential that the planning and funding for additional safety and capacity improvements begin now. Maryland Route 18 Recognizing that the NEPA study, design and funding improvements to the Bay Bridge will take time, Queen Anne’s County has identified vital interim improvements in the 2016 Kent Island Transportation Plan to improve the movement of traffic on Kent Island. The top priority of the many improvements identified in the Kent Island Transportation Plan is to enhance the safety and capacity Maryland Route 18. The specific project is to initiate comprehensive roadway and pedestrian improvements from Castle Marina Road to the Kent Narrows. As the only alternative route to using Route 50/301 this project will serve to increase mobility and eliminate routine congestion as well as seasonal traffic gridlock. The Kent Island Transportation Plan is posted on our website at www.qac.org/DocumentCenter/View/4460. Transit The County requests continued support of our transit services and hope for increases in our two services as we have had level funding for eight years. We would request continued support of the Capital Preventative Maintenance assistance which is essential to our transit service. Also, we appreciate additional funding to purchase vehicles to help replace our aging fleet, computers, Front End Alignment Machine and miscellaneous mounting hardware for new Ipads. The County would like to add our appreciation for supporting the bus wash rehab program. To better serve the mobility of our citizens our local government is assisting with staff to help expand our northern County service and we would like to ask for additional assistance with operating funds to help with that expansion. The Board of Queen Anne’s County Commissioners appreciates your consideration of our priorities and inclusion of them in the Consolidate Transportation Plan. We would appreciate the opportunity to work with MDOT to implement our priorities.

Rahn, Secretary Maryland Department ofTransportation Post Office Box 548 7201 Corporate Center Drive Hanover, Maryland 21076-0548 Re: Chestertown Bypass Dear Secretary Rahn: Through the MOOT tour process we understand the Kent County Commissioners identify the Chestertown bypass as a top priority for their County. The bypass would provide an alternative route to the existing MD Route 213 beginning near MD Route 544 and create a second Chester River crossing approximately one mile east ofthe existing bridge. We do not oppose the Kent County Commissioners or their efforts to create the Chestertown Bypass. However, Queen Anne's County Commissioners cannot identify the Chestertown bypass as a priority given the current transportation challenges the County faces with the Bay Bridge, the MD 18 Corridor on Kent Island and the US Route 50 corridor.

  • Located at the Western End of Chester, the Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District Is A
    QA-587 Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District Chester, Queen Anne's County Constructed circa 1890 - circa 2000 Private Located at the western end of Chester, the Postal Road/Cox Neck Road Survey District is a primarily linear district that runs along both Cox Neck Road and Postal Road near their intersection. The district runs south along the east side of Cox Neck Road for approximately one-tenth of a mile, and east along Postal Road on both sides for approximately one-third of a mile. Now almost exclusively commercial, the overwhelming majority of the resources appear to have been constructed as single dwellings. The community is composed of 31 resources - 21 contributing properties and ten non-contributing properties - that display several popular vernacular architectural forms and styles spanning primarily the first half of the twentieth century. No single form or style dominates the district, although a significant number of mid- twentieth-century tract houses in a modified Cape Cod form are present. Non-historic buildings constructed between circa 1960 and circa 2000 are interspersed with the historic buildings. The historic buildings of the survey district represent a good collection of late nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century architectural forms and styles found in Queen Anne's County. The district retains its linear pattern of development tied to Postal Road east of the intersection with Cox Neck Road. Early residents were merchants who served travelers along the Centreville to Broad Creek Road (now Maryland Route 18), and local farmers, watermen, and others who lived on Cox Neck Road. The district's buildings reflect the economic growth in this area of Chester from the 1890s (following the substantial growth in the maritime industry), to the completion of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and U.S.

District 4 Evecutice Assistant to County Commissioners: Margie A. i—buck County Attorney: Patrick Thompson, Esquire October 23, 2018 Residents of Queen Anne’s County Housing Authority: You may have recently received a newsletter from the Housing Authority containing a number of misstatements. The overall message: the Queen Anne’s County Commissioners have not been doing their part to support our Housing Authority residents. That is a false statement. Your Commissioners are energetically trying to make things better by questioning the rent policies, occupation rates and maintenance practices of the Housing Authority. Months ago we were disturbed by a sudden and large rent increase. We wanted to know the justification. \Vhile looking into this, we discovered what might be inconsistencies with vacant apartments, maintenance of the facilities and other shortcomings. These might arise from management operations that were not what Queen Anne’s citizens should expect. We have repeatedly requested financial records and other information fi-om the Housing Authority. We also have attempted to appoint Housing Authority Board Members who will represent your interests energetically. This effort to improve the practices and policies of the Housing Authority has apparently upset the management. Rest assured that such threats and assertions as you are “at risk to become homeless’ are absolutely not true.
