Bowie Residents Voice Concerns Over Rt. 301 Traffic at Packed Town Hall

A town hall meeting in Bowie, hosted by Prince George’s County Councilmembers Ingrid Watson and Wala Blegay, drew over 70 residents concerned about traffic on Route 301 due to two new developments: South Lake and Mill Branch Crossing.

The meeting included officials from the Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation and the State Highway Administration. Residents expressed worries about increased traffic and insufficient infrastructure. Maryland Sen. Ron Watson acknowledged the issues and noted challenges such as funding and the impact of more people working from home. A full plan is expected by early 2025, with long-term suggestions including separate highways for through traffic and local traffic. Officials plan to present these concerns to state authorities to secure additional funding and support.
