In a recent council meeting, officials discussed a significant infrastructure project aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in Denton, Maryland. The proposed road would connect Walmart to the Franklin Gay Street intersection on Route 44, addressing ongoing traffic issues at the end of Legion Road, which has been exacerbated by the store's popularity.
Council members revealed that the project, estimated to cost over $3 million, may be funded through a combination of developer contributions and public resources. Currently, negotiations are underway to establish a partnership agreement with property owners, which is crucial for moving forward. If approved, the project will be managed by Pam, a key figure in the council's efforts to see the initiative through to completion.
While there is a possibility that the developers may take on the project, council members expressed skepticism, indicating that they are preparing to manage the project themselves. The council emphasized the economic benefits of the road, highlighting its potential to improve traffic flow and enhance access to one of the town's major attractions. As discussions continue, the council remains focused on securing the necessary support to bring this vital infrastructure project to fruition.
