October...Time is flying by.  I'm not ready for the cold, wet weather, cleaning up leaves... ugh.
The holidays will be upon us in no time at all.  Remember to choose kindness!
If you want to see something in the area please contact that company and tell them you want them here!  If I do it its just a broker trying to fill a spot.  They need to hear from consumers!

Any updates on anything with Waldorf Station? What about the Arby’s? Looks like no progress has been made?

Do you know what is being built in the festival way shopping center in waldorf. Behind the cvs across from the hotel. ( off of western Parkway and berry road)

Was thinking the same thing

I was coming here to ask the exact same question

I think nothing will happen with Waldorf Station until the county gets the Western Parkway figured out.

Arby's i have not heard anything so far. Seems like permits are taking a long time to get thru the system. Look at chicken rico for instance.

Just Added info about the new building construction.

Chris,

I'm not sure if you can answer this but I'm trying to find out why the traffic congestion after traveling Southbound on MD-5 from Surratts Rd. up to McKendree Rd. near the Brandywine/Waldorf line has gotten worse in the last 2 weeks during the evening rush hour. After the new construction with the overpass was done on MD-5 before you reached the Brandywine shopping center, traffic was finally flowing nicely and the overpass definitely helped for the rush hour traffic going Southbound in the afternoon. Within the last 2 weeks, something has changed. Now Southbound traffic is backing up right after Surratts Rd. in Clinton on MD-5 and going all the way into the beginning of Waldorf causing 10-15 min. delays. We are back to the same traffic jams as before the overpass was done. Something clearly changed and do you know what the change could be? If not, who could I talk to because whatever they changed, they need to change it back to how it was after the overpass was completed. Now to avoid traffic you have to drive on the back roads to get around traffic and it is getting worse. Thank you.

I know they are working on a roundabout at 373 / 381 where the bridge was put in but I dont see anything else going on in the area.
There is a contact link on the left side of this project description:

The respond to the traffic problem on MD-5. The reason it is backing up is because you now have more movement due to the new overpass but because there is still traffic lights at both Suratts and the two short light at Safeway and Costco there will never be a solution to the congestion. PG County should never have allowed the Safeway development to happen without building a side roads/overpass. Now it will be years before funding is available to correct the problem.
