Take Action, 1/15

A New Bay Bridge?  Ways to take action to prevent Kent County from becoming a corridor for a bay bridge: (Sharing from the Chestertown Spy) If you have not already written to the Bay Crossing Study with your comments, you can still submit them at:

From our conversations with MDTA, only about 400 comments have been submitted so far.  Kent County must add many more comments. Plan to attend a public information meeting that KCPA will host at Chestertown Firehouse Thursday January 25th at 6:30 PM.  Information will be shared about statewide alliances, ways or you to take part in the NEPA process, especially the “purpose and need” exercise scheduled for this spring and other important ways you can help.  We will share information that KCPA has obtained through contact and meeting with MDTA.  Contact our 36th District General Assembly representatives and the Kent County Commissioners to voice your concerns. Emphasize your expectation that the MDTA must distribute more than the bare minimum of information and provide adequate opportunities for meaningful public participation.  Protest the artificial fast-track deadline.
