Low Ridership Threatens 'M Route' Bus
There will be a public meeting on June 11 to discuss ways to boost ridership on the bus between Piney Orchard and the MARC Station. Currently, the service gets only about 25 riders a day
A rush hour bus that shuttles commuters between Piney Orchard and the Odenton MARC Station could be eliminated due to low ridership, a county transportation planner said. The "M Route" bus, which costs $1 per ride and runs during peak MARC hours, averages fewer than 25 riders per day, which is not enough to justify its operation. County officials have scheduled a meeting for June 11 to seek feedback on ways to improve the service in order to boost ridership. "We're just frustrated," said George Cardwell, the transportation planning administrator for Anne Arundel County. "We're trying to do the right thing, but the fact of the matter is we're just not carrying enough passengers." Cardwell said the bus needs at least 40 or 50 passengers to …

A Dream Fulfilled for "Ms. G" in Severn
Organizers are close to achieving funding for a health and community center to serve underprivileged residents of Severn
For Glenda Gathers, it all started back in the 1980s when she was just another a pesky neighbor in Severn. Crime, drugs and teen pregnancy were dragging the neighborhood down, and she didn’t like that kids were hanging around on her street. “Every summer, there was just nothing to do,” she said. Over time, she became one of the most vocal activists in the Severn community, garnering the nickname “Ms. G.” And after nearly 30 years, her dream of getting a community center to serve nearby residents is coming close to fruition. “I am so excited,” the Still Meadows resident said. “I’m just bursting inside. I can’t wait to walk into it.” There is still some work to be done, but People’s Community Health Center is close to raising the funds …

Sun Review: Maryland Live! Bustling Following Table Games Addition
A Sun reviewer compared a recent visit with his experience shortly after the casino opened last year.
In a review in The Baltimore Sun Wednesday, writer Wesley Case recognized what he called the "crowded and energized floor" on a recent Friday night visit to the Maryland Live! Casino. Table games went live at the casino in April, after voters approved changes to gambling laws on the November ballot. Case wrote that the casino "appeared to be reaping the benefits of democracy." Case wrote he had wondered when the casino opened in November if the traffic would pickup and the facility would remain sustainable. In his review today, he praised the new music venue—Rams Head Center Stage—and the casino's active atmosphere since the addition of table games. "You wouldn't mistake the casino, which opened last June and introduced live table games on…

Residents Speak Out Against Cell Phone Tower
About 100 people gather at the library, largely in opposition to the plan to put a tower on the grounds of Piney Orchard Elementary School
Many residents of Piney Orchard said they opposed a plan to place a wireless communications tower at the community's elementary school, raising concerns about property values and health. About 100 packed into a room at the West County Area Library on Monday evening and heard from officials from Milestone Communications and Verizon, who have proposed building a 99-foot monopole behind the school. Companies said there is a gap in cell phone coverage spanning much of the community. Officials said Piney Orchard Elementary School was an attractive site due to its relatively high elevation. Jessica O'Kane, a member of the Piney Orchard Community Association Board of Directors, and a parent of students at the school, said she believed the …

Community to Meet on Piney Orchard Cell Tower Monday
The tower is proposed for the grounds on Piney Orchard Elementary School.
Residents of Piney Orchard will gather Monday for a meeting to discuss a proposed cell tower at the community's elementary school. Milestone Communications has proposed building a 99-foot tower at Piney Orchard Elementary School, in order to assist Verizon in improving its mobile phone coverage. The community meeting, which is required by law, will be held Monday at 7 p.m. at the West County Area Library. The Anne Arundel County Board of Education reviewed the proposal on April 3. It does not need to vote on the plan, as it already has an approved Master Leasing Agreement with Milestone. Under the agreement, the school system receives 40 percent of all rent revenues from the tower and a $25,000 one-time payment. It will also receive $5,…

So let me see if I have this straight. You are upset that the company is paying the school system rather then paying taxes? That a bit like being upset that someone paid to fill your tank with gas rather than giving you a gas card. To further this absurd conversation, are you similarly upset that apartment renters are not paying and property taxes? more ›

I feel like as the population of the area increases, the parking situation at the metro stop is just going to get worse. There's just no way to get more parking at the train station. That being said, even if public transportation solutions aren't viable now, they will be with worsened traffic and parking. To be fair, a dollar a day is pretty cheap for traveling 8 miles. more ›
