KNDF flags map errors, urges comments on MDTA Bay Bridge Tier 2 Draft EIS
Summary
The foundation reviewed the MDTA's Tier 2 Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Chesapeake Bay Crossing Study, requested technical corrections to maps incorrectly labeling properties and water trails in Kent Narrows, and discussed safety and environmental concerns about MDTA's preferred Alternative C.
KNDF reviewed materials for the Chesapeake Bay Crossing Study Tier 2 Draft Environmental Impact Statement and identified technical map errors that mislocated the Public Landing and overlaid the Safe Harbor Marina; the board asked the study team to correct the displays. The minutes state that Determination of Eligibility applications exist in Maryland Historic Trust files for Piney Narrows Marina and the Kent Narrows Drawbridge, which is why they appeared as historically significant on MDTA maps.
Board members discussed MDTA's preferred Alternative C, which would build a new higher and wider multi-lane bridge (proposed vertical clearance increases cited from 185 to 235 feet in the study materials). Members raised concerns about safety for bike and pedestrian crossings, environmental impacts, and disruption near existing spans. KNDF encouraged members to submit written comments to the study webpage by the March 9 comment deadline.
