CONGESTION * ROADS * TRANSIT * COST * GROWTH * LAND USE * BUSES * ENVIRONMENT * QUALITY OF LIFE * GRIDLOCK * DENSITY * LIVABLE COMMINITIES * INVESTMENT

These are some of the words that have been a part of the conversation of the Transportation Policy Task Force – 36 community leaders who have been working over the last 15 months to develop recommendations on transportation, land use, and related issues for the Planning Board, County Council, and the community.

 

The Task Force is studying a number of options and wrestling with the hard choices among those options - - Inner/Outer Purple Lines?  Techway?  More density at transit stations?  Intercounty Connector?

 

From the beginning, the Task Force has committed to listening to the public.  Your opinions are important; your ideas are valued!

 

Please join the Task Force at one of the following community workshops. All workshops are held from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM .

DEER DAMAGE CONTROL WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE FREE

To Homeowners Associations, Civic Organizations, And Garden Clubs

 

Increased deer populations have had a number of impacts on suburban Montgomery County.  Deer have added aesthetic value to the area, but the increasing deer population has had undesirable effects as well including damage to home landscapes and gardens, and increased risks of Lyme disease.

 

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Office are co-sponsoring educational workshops to help homeowners cope with and minimize deer damage to their landscapes and gardens.  Workshops stress an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach and provide homeowners with proven strategies to reduce deer problems. 

 

Workshops are 1 ˝ to 2 hours in length and offered free of charge.   A minimum of 20 attendees is required.  To schedule a workshop for your Homeowners/Civic Association or Garden Club, please call the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Office at (301) 590-2809.
