Rahn, Transportation Secretary Maryland Department of Transportation 7201 Corporate Center Drive P.O. Box 548 Hanover, Maryland 21076 Dear Secretary Rahn: We thank you and the various business units of the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) for a very successful year of working together to maintain the integrity and safety of our roads! We want to especially compliment you on progress made streamlining and simplifying the access management process and also in moving forward with planning for strategic highway safety. County staff has taken an active part in working with State personnel and participating in State workshops to bring about positive change. Enclosed are our priority transportation projects. We want to draw your attention to transportation issues in Calvert County and Southern Maryland. We thank MDOT for the construction funding for Phase 2 of the MD 2-4 project to widen and improve MD 2-4 through Prince Frederick that was in last year's budget. While this project did not go to advertisement in 2016 as planned, we hope the funding for this project remains intact and construction starts FY 2018. It is important to note that 60% of our workforce commutes out of the County and uses this corridor every single day, twice a day. MD 2-4 is the main artery in Calvert, used by not only our commuters but by everyone traversing our County.
