www.change.org/petitions/state-of-maryland-sha-put-an-overpass-at-the-intersection-of-301-and-304I will be delivering this to SHA when they come to Centreville on Nov 1. Might help get the state to consider an over pass...might not...But its something that I feel strongly about. There are 3 schools down that road...some buses cross that intersection...kids cross that intersection...families cross that intersection...Please do not tell me why you are not going to sign the petition because I really do not care. I am putting this here in case someone does want to sign it. A Childs life was lost because this intersection has NO margin for error.

Check the "accident 301/304" thread for the MDOT reason why.

We can't stop the J Turn...it is but a bandaid on a huge wound...but like I said in the other thread...it is in the interim until the money can be allocated for the 304/301 over pass. BUT we do NOT want the state to forget about us like Always...so we need to keep bugging them I wrote to the Gov and got NO response at all..and I didn't even write something mean....I am very disappointed in him..and the Sec of SHA...no response. I have went way out of my comfort zone to make this more public...I have almost 1400 signatures on my petition...

I'm the one who made this petition... ;D Makes me super happy to see others posting the link...so far over 2000 people have signed it..and its been in all the papers and on WBAL and WBOC and Fox 45...I am hoping its in the paper again today. I am going to print it out and hand it to SHA on Nov 1st when they come to Centreville. I have a few other things to give them too..

At this point, this is now a "political" issue - and taking a chance posting here rather than that forum, I have been wondering. So where is Andy Harris on this issue - especially with all the federal level discussion regarding infrastructure needs and jobs? Maybe he has made some statement in support and I missed it? ??

I have heard nothing from Andy Harris...I have heard personally from Sen Pipkin...Del Hershey and all the Commissioners...maybe I should reach out to Mr. Harris too...everyone has been responsive to me.

I wouldnt hold my breath on Harris. He hasn't done one thing for any of us yet. PS, I signed the petition when it first came out - keep up the good fight - Stay on em!

Edit: I went to Andy Harris's website...wrote him long letter...we shall see if he replies... NOTE: almost 2800 people have signed my petition..and that is not including the Hard copy that is floating around out there...

Kratovil tried to help us out with FASTC. That would have brought us an overpass.

Yes..but we can't change that...so we need to focus on what we can change..which at the moment isn't much...But we can keep this issue in the States face...every year...until we get an overpass like they promised. Did you know the State RULED OUT J Turns...they said they would not be adequate..its in the article in the petition...funny how that changed..and now they are okay...

IMO, Aqua, Mr. Harris should be representing us on national issues. This is a local issue. The highest this should go is the state gov.
There may be a precedent for him using his federal power to bring the "pork" our way to fix this problem, but it doesn't make it right.

I dont know about that Rob, it is an Interstate highway we are talking about, not just a local road. And as honeybee pointed out, "especially with all the federal level discussion regarding infrastructure needs and jobs?" Either way, Harris wont do anything - he is the King of Nothingness.

If I remember correctly - Harris very quickly jumped on the bandwagon regarding the public hearings on the bay bridge tolls - even sponsoring a robocall? But then again, was this because there was no possibility that he would (or could) really actually do anything about the toll?

Still no response from Mr. Harris...My petition is now at 4758 signatures...and climbing. Tomorrow I go to the Commissioners meeting where they will all sign the petition in their meeting. They will also be telling others where they can sign it. Then on Nov. 1 I will be handing the petition to SHA... Then we will be going to Annapolis...And to the negative people...sorry...won't be listening to you..have a nice day.

My Petition surpassed 5000 signatures last night at 7:41...and it created a new goal of 7500 (which I had no idea it would do.
