A detailed site plan for 300 units on 9.5 acres south of Campus Drive and 300 feet west of Mowatt Lane, College Park." I'm not sure how far away Guilford Run is located from the parcel, but the more development around the streams, the harder it gets to clean up the Anacostia.

Given that the land adjacent to the stream is largely owned by Park & Planning Commission (except for a portion that is Univ. of Md. property, Park and Planning police are responsible for what happens there. Commission Police do not want to take on the added task of patroling areas which they have seldom ever have had to concern themselves with. Especially since park property is closed to the public after dark. Paint Branch stream poses a problem for Park & Planning.

The University needs to have distinctive borders, as stated in its master plan. (The master plan did like the University's eastern boarder on Route 1 -- the bricked wall, that is.) And I completely agree that we need more development that builds with respect to the 2 streams around the University -- Guilford Run and Paint Branch. There are a significant number of students who sadly (but understandably) do not even know where those streams are located, or that they even exist! This must change. Touche, Kevin.

the b-school and the school of arch need this project. the b-school/school of pub affirs in particular …their front door faces a road that is in really bad shape (Mowatt) that loooks unfinishes with the big rocks piled up down the center……hope infrastructure improvements come with it and I hope Doug Duncan, Councilman Caitlin and others make sure that “the bigger picture” is taken into account beyond this parcel, specifically Mosaic @ Turtle Creek and anything else that is going to happen along the banks of the Guilford Run to the east ….if you catch my drift

need to look at the entire Southwest District as a whole and come up with a unified plan so the resulting development and infrastructure do not look piece-meal
