Virtual Community Conversation: Proposed Vansville Development
Residents’ opinions play a big part in how our landscape changes. Being involved in this process is crucial as new developments will alter your neighborhood's environment. I rely on input from the community to guide me on what residents prefer to see in their neighborhoods.
A developer is seeking to develop 7.75 acres of land at the southeast intersection of Old Baltimore Pike and Ammendale Way (11701 Old Baltimore Pike, Vansville) into a townhouse community with a maximum of 67 units.
In February of this year, a neighborhood meeting was held with the developer to discuss this project in greater detail, per Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) guidelines.
M-NCPPC has accepted the developer’s Preliminary Plan of Subdivision and is moving toward having a hearing before the Planning Board. To view the plans, visit here: https://bit.ly/11701OldBmorePikeDev (This development plan is not set in stone yet but is pending approval before the M-NCPPC Planning Board.)
The developer has agreed to hold another community meeting about the proposed Harmony Garden Townhouse project for anyone who missed the informational meeting in February. An online Zoom meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 6, from 6:30-7:30 PM. Advance registration is required at https://bit.ly/vansvilledev, and questions may be submitted upon registration. Request ASL or Spanish translation assistance by September 1.

Virtual Community Meeting: Proposed Speed Humps on Caverly Avenue
The County’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) recently reviewed Caverly Avenue, and the traffic study revealed that it scored 79 points, making it eligible for speed humps.
To consider the installation of speed humps, the Department of Public Works & Transportation requires a public meeting. An online Zoom meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 27, from 6:30-7:30 PM. Advance registration is required at https://bit.ly/caverlymtg and questions may be submitted upon registration. Request ASL or Spanish translation assistance by September 21.
At the meeting, staff from the Traffic Engineering and Safety Division will review the traffic study findings and explain the requirements of the petition process along with the merits and consequences of the hump installation.
