As a Howard County resident who lives and drives this area daily, I do not want Howard County to help fund a railroad station and two parking garages and other infrastructure for the ill-conceived development which will bring 1000 residential units and about 800,000 sq. ft of commercial and office space to Route 1 at the Howard entrance to the Laurel Race track. The traffic nightmares will be intolerable! The City of Laurel train station is only 2500 feet away. Why should we fund this for the developer??? It will do nothing to help improve the traffic in that area, only cause MORE traffic. Please vote NO!!!!

    Sayers, Margery From: Tina Bennett <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2017 11:36 PM To: CounciIMail Subject: Public input on the proposed budget Greetings. If it is timely, I would like to express strong support for expenditure on bus stop improvement. I live near bus stops on Guilford Road and pass some on Broken Land Parkway. I see folks standing on grass or trying to keep feet dry by standing on a cement square (about 1 yard x 1 yard) if one is available. There is no shelter for many stops. At one on Guilford, folks will often sit on a pad-mount transformer because there is no other place to sit. There are no trash cans, so you can guess what is discarded on the ground. People look (and are) miserable at these stops, and such conditions do not encourage them to ride the buses. Howard County must meet basic needs (including safety) of riders to support bus ridership and support these people, many of whom might not be able to afford their own cars Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Tina Bennett and family _^ »S^»y ^ ^ Uniting East and West with a Bus, Bike, And BRIDGE ^ COLUMBIA Pedestrian Bridge ONE BRIDGE ONE COLUMBIA www.bridgecolumbia.org [email protected] April 13,2017 Dear Howard County Council Member, Friends of Bridge Columbia wholeheartedly supports the inclusion of funding for upgrades to the Route 29 pedestrian bridge (Budget Item B3863 FY2013 Downtown Columbia-Oakland Mills Connection Improvements).
