Mervell Dean Road Condo Proposal

[RoseRed]

This is being proposed for condos on the property between 235 and MD Rd near Clarke's Mill Road. They would have egress from both sides. Bad idea.

I mean walking distance to ice cream and a dentist? Sounds good to me.

Careful or no olive oil for you.

Looks like these are townhouses... not condos. And I looked at the plans on the county website. Looks like only one entrance from Mervell Dean.

I think that's basically a stupid plan -- at the very least, there ought to be an entrance from the highway. And I favor NO access to Mervell Dean if that is the case. There's enough accidents on that road, especially as it gets used a LOT for 235 detours in the event of accidents on 235.

Then I'm sure it's the plan our great leaders of St. Mary's will go with...
Hell, it isn't like they plan on retiring here...

Is that the cam you use to get incriminating videos of Toots patrons?

After looking at the plans, there is no entrance/exit from 235. Why is that?

Because entrances like that onto a 55mph highway are more dangerous than an entrance on the 40mph MDR. Especially in the morning when a lot of them would be heading north, trying to cross two lanes to hit the u-turn at Airport View. But since they cant hit 235, they will head south in the morning, clogging up the MDR to 235 intersection at Wildwood. If our planners were really planning, they would put the developer on the hook to help make part two lanes back up MDR to the first house.

I travel this road daily. Imagine the backups due to the school busses, in addition to the other reasons given.

There are already two small complexes that feed directly onto 235 with their backs to Mervell Dean. One is the dual set of medical offices not far from this development. The other is similar way up by the north outlet of Mervell Dean. That, plus the handful of actual HOMES that are on 235.
