Get Involved in Montgomery County

Posted by Ilaya Hopkins on May 7, 2009 at 1:12 PM

A chance to share your opinions on the future of Montgomery County! Two big items of note - one in person, one on line.

 

First, from the Montgomery County Planning Department:

The Montgomery County Planning Department has begun working on the 2009-11 Growth Policy, which measures how and where we should grow. As part of our preliminary recommendations, we are rethinking how we manage growth, looking beyond basing it just on congestion relief and school capacity to include other ways to enhance quality of life.

 

We would like to hear from you! Tell us about your experiences with growth in the county and how you think we might grow in the future. Join us at one of our Growing Smarter Listening Sessions:

 

7 p.m. May 11, Park and Planning Headquarters, 8787 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring

7 p.m. May 18, Shady Grove Training Center

 

 

Our interactive listening sessions will inform our recommendations to the Planning Board, which will in turn recommend a 2009-2011 Growth Policy to the County Council later this summer.

ARMED ROBBERY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a news letter....NEWS LETTER !!!!! I think that is the proper name for the letter I'm paying dues for. I can not see one word regarding the armed hold up of the Mexican carry out next to the BP gas station on Highland Ave. I understand they put a gun up to the head of a 7 year old child....this is news!!!!!!. The Texaco at the end of Rosedale is held up with a gun, I think I see a pattern and maybe residents want to know about these issues so they may protect a household and lock doors. I've heard rumors that this kind of news will not be printed because a realtor has mentioned that is not good for the values. Well whoever is buying a home in EBCA is not on the mailing list so that quote does not hold water. We put up with enough resident and non realtor mailings etc. from these realtors and I don't think that these few realtors should influence our newsletter for their benefit by censoring information critical for families to safeguard their homes. We should report all the news and strive to get a better Neighborhood watch program together. If you printed all the bad news ,and there is more than what I just mentioned. How about the woman assaulted a few months back? You would have more people joining the watch program. People need to know what's happening. You all sit down at the rec - center with blinders on. WAKE UP and quit letting these few realtors run the EBCA.....everyone should use a realtor outside of EBCA so that we can get back to an impartial voice.
