South Bowie Residents (Especially those in Pointer Ridge, Tall Oaks Crossing, Ashleigh Station, Devonshire):
You should have recently received a Project Newsletter in the mail from the SHA that publicizes a meeting to be held at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 17, at Pointer Ridge Elementary to share details regarding the concept development of a project to install sidewalks and make all related improvements along Hall Road between Hall Station Drive and Central Avenue (see attachment). Residents can view maps and project displays beginning at7:00; the state's presentation will begin at 7:30.
According to the Project Newsletter:
The project is funded for concept development only. During this phase, SHA quantifies impacts on the roadway and adjacent properties before moving forward with the development of preliminary design plans. Final concepts for this project should be completed by spring 2016. ... SHA representatives will be available at the meeting to answer project-related questions.
For those of us who have an interest in a more 
walkable community and gaining safe pedestrian and 
bike access to the South Bowie Library 
and Hall Station shops, this is an IMPORTANT meeting -- who knows, citizen support could make a difference!! PLEASE plan to attend and bring your questions for the SHA officials!
This article indicates that "Dense, walkable suburbs with an urban feel" will be hot spots next year and beyond!
Regardless of where you live in South Bowie, if this project is completed, it will improve the quality and value of our community 
. Please support this project by attending this meeting!
