Crofton First is an organization of concerned citizens in the greater Crofton area who keep their eyes on county zoning and development issues so the rest of us don't have to.
- Staples Corner, the intersection of Routes 424 and 450.
- Route 424 before it meets Route 3
- A dozen parcels along Route 3 before Route I-97 joins Route 3
- West of Route 3, below Capital Raceway Road
- Two between Capital Raceway Road and Evergreen Road
- North of The Village at Waugh Chapel are two other “up-zones” – one on each side of St. Stephens Church Rd. and another one west of that intersection
- West of Rt. 3 just before Route 175/Annapolis Rd.
- Two more north of Route 175
Can you imagine what 75 acres of new commercial zoning along Route 3 in the greater Crofton area would do to Route 3 traffic?
That's not all. The bill also permits additional sand and gravel operations in the middle of the Evergreen residential neighborhood.
Crofton First has done the legwork for residents in the greater Crofton area. Now it's up to all the rest of us to email or phone our councilman and/or attend the meeting at Arundel Center on Monday night. You should be there (44 Calvert St. in Annapolis) by 6:30 to sign up for testifying, or 7 p.m. to attend. The nearest parking is at Gott's Garage, which has an entrance on Calvert Street.
If you can't attend the meeting, please email or phone your councilman, listed below:
Many thanks to the folks involved in Crofton First for following up on this and letting us know about the May 2 County Council meeting.
