Route 197 traffic and the Agape Center proposal

Bowie

Summary

The proposed day care on Collington Road sits on already congested Route 197 across from Benjamin Tasker Middle School. Neighbors worry a 24,000-square-foot building with 100+ kids will make traffic, noise, and safety worse; the applicants say their vans stagger pickup times and the road has capacity.
