Dear Neighbors:
Below are some announcements about events tonight and later this week which
I thought would be of interest to residents of Takoma Park.
*National Night Out -- August 3, 6:00 - 9:00 PM on Maple Ave. by Piney
Branch Elementary School.*
https://takomaparkmd.gov/government/police/community-policing/national-night-out/
. This event, hosted by the Police Department, will feature police vehicles
and horses, McGruff the Crime Dog, child ID kits and fingerprinting,
music/dance/karaoke, dunk tank/basketball, face painting/moon bounce,
games, prizes, and food.
*Takoma Park Minor Master Plan -- Information at National Night Out. *

On Tuesday, August 3, Montgomery Planning staff will be available to answer
questions about the Takoma Park Minor Master Plan Amendment at the National
Night Out. The plan covers the site of the former Adventist Hospital, plus
areas along and adjacent to Maple Avenue.
County Planning staff will also be giving a Minor Master Plan Amendment
Scope of Work briefing to the Planning Board on September 9. You can learn
how to watch the briefing and view the staff report one week prior to the
event on the *Planning Board’s website
