A Safer Route 29 Petition

To: Maryland State Highway Administration, Howard County Government & Officials, Maryland State Representatives

Sponsors: Members of Daniels Mill Overlook Homeowners Association, Mount Hebron High School PTSA

Given the recent fatality of Andrew Noel, other accidents and incidents that have occurred and the numerous "near misses" we have experienced or witnessed since its opening, we believe that the configuration and actual utilization of the crossover intersection of Rt 29 and I-70 providing additional access to I-70 west is unsafe and that this intersection should be permanently closed.

We, the undersigned:

• Agree with and support a thorough and open investigation of the intersection that encompasses not only engineering criteria but actual use patterns and driving behaviors of those who use the crossover;

• We request an active dialogue between SHA, the community, the Howard County Government and our elected officials to reach a safe and supported solution; and,

• We respectfully request that this intersection be closed during an interim period while the aforementioned investigation and dialogue take place.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
