Mar 3rd General Membership Meeting:

DPPOA is keeping its roads:

Carol Weinberg related the history of the first STD and preparations for the second STD.  It was during this time the Board came to the community regarding the reluctance of the County to take the roads.  A recommendation was made and accepted at that time to simply bring all the roads up to the best standard possible.  This decision had been published in the newsletter.

A motion was made that, “we no longer try to get our roads put under the care of the County and that we care for them ourselves.”  The motion was seconded, and discussion followed. A second motion was made and passed, to table the original motion until the September meeting of the membership in order to allow time for information to be distributed to property owners that they may make an intelligent decision.  The Board is currently seeking comment and feedback on the recommendation which was published in the most recent newsletter.

Elections: John Gray and Dennis Baker will run for the upcoming term. Sam Bergeson-Willis and Bob Pattison have also agreed to run.

A new website devoted to Drum Point area activities is at www.drumpointneighbors.com  Give it a look!

Southern Connector Ground Breaking for the Southern Connector was Sept 5th 2006 near the Patuxent High School. This began the largest road project ($18million) in Calvert County history. Many local community residents were invited to attend. The road is vital to the safety of all residents of the Drum Point and Olivet peninsulas and will greatly reduce traffic congestion through the Lusby Town Center.

The Southern Connector will go from the new roundabout at Rousby Hall and Olivet Roads, westward around the high school ball fields and near the Mill Creek Middle School to Trueman Road, where another identical roundabout will be built. When completed in 2008, the connector will be called Rousby Hall Rd and the bypassed portion of the old road will revert to Olivet Rd.

The state of Maryland has also started construction of  the extension from Trueman Road out to Rt 2-4 with a roundabout similar to that at the Rousby Hall intersection. The old Cox/Millbridge intersection and light will be removed upon completion.
