Montpelier Drive was changed to a ResidenƟal

street: Mark Fowler, Engineering Technician for the

County Dept. of Public Works advises that his office has

approved a request for Montpelier Drive to be desig-

nated as a ResidenƟal Street. Their request now goes to

Maryland Park and Planning for final approval. This will

then allow the county to place speed bumps on the

road. This is the only program that the County will ap-prove for reducing the speed of traffic. The speed cam-

eras, which are effecƟve in slowing traffic, have been

removed.

NEW ‘MOVE OVER’ LAWS

Maryland State Police want motorists to be aware of

new traffic laws taking effect October 1st that requiredrivers to ‘move over,’ if possible, to increase safety for

police, fire and emergency services personnel working

on Maryland roadsides, as well as those riding bicycles

or scooters.

The new law requires drivers approaching from the rear

of an emergency vehicle using visual signals while

stopped on a highway to, if possible, ‘make a lane

change into an available lane not immediately adjacent

to the emergency vehicle.’

This movement should only be done if another lane in

the same direcƟon is available and the move can be

made safely and without impeding other traffic. If mov-

ing to another lane away from the stopped emergency

vehicle is not possible, the law requires drivers to ‘slow

to a reasonable and prudent speed that is safe for ex-

isƟng weather, road, and vehicular or pedestrian traffic

condiƟons.’

The intent of the ‘move over’ law is to provide an extra

barrier of safety for police officers, fire fighters, and

emergency rescue personnel working along Maryland

roads. ViolaƟon of the ‘move over’ law is a primary

offense with a fine of $110 and one point. If the viola-

Ɵon contributes to a traffic crash, the fine is $150 and

three points. If the violaƟon contributes to a trafficcrash resulƟng in death or serious injury, the fine is

$750 and three points.

A similar law is aimed at increasing safety for bicyclists

or persons operaƟng a motor scooter, or electric per-

sonal assisƟve mobility device (EPAMD). This law re-

quires drivers overtaking a bicycle, EPAMD, or motor

scooter rider to pass safely at a distance of not less than

three feet. ExcepƟons are when the conveyance opera-

tor is not obeying the law or is solely responsible for

creaƟng a clearance of less than three feet, or if the

highway is not wide enough to pass the vehicle at a dis-

tance of at least three feet. Drivers must also yield theright of way to a bicycle, EPAMD, or motor scooter be-

ing operated lawfully in a designated bike lane or shoul-

der if the driver of the motor vehicle is about to enter

or cross the bike lane or shoulder.

A violaƟon of this law is a primary offense with a fine of

$80 and one point. If the violaƟon contributes to a

traffic crash, the fine is $120 and three points.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR 2013




LOCAL TRAILS IN OUR BACKYARD

Whether you want to get some exercise, walk the dog, or get some fresh air, there are several short trails in the

area to choose from.

The one from either entrance to Montpelier Mansion.

The trail in the woods on the east side of the Mansion that goes and connects with where Mt. Pleasant dead

ends near Pleasant Court at the steel barricade.

The paved circuit at Bedford Park, across Muirkirk Road at Mt. Pleasant. Follow the liƩle path toward the

park.

The paved trail that starts along Brock Bridge Road at the Maryland City Park and goes to Brock Bridge Ele-mentary School.

I also heard that the Board was thinking about making a short trail through the woods around the Pool, so folks

can walk around the playground/pool/ballfields, etc. I think anything to get folks out and exercising is a good

thing.

PS-another suggestion was made to print jokes and funny stories. Send them in… I am one of those people

that CANNOT tell a joke, but I think I can cut and paste them!

Lake Artemesia—This is a public

park with a 38-acre lake, a wheel-

chair accessible fishing pier, and

aquaƟc gardens. More than two

miles of hiker-biker trails surround

and connect the lake with Calvert

Road Park and College Park Airport

and AviaƟon Museum. The Prince

George's Audobon Society hosts bird

walks every 1st and 3rd Thursday of

the month.

Fishing is permiƩed on Lake Arteme-

sia. A non-Ɵdal fishing license is re-

quired for persons 16 & older. In

addiƟon, a trout stamp is required to

catch-and-take trout from the lake.Refer to the Maryland DNR website

or the MD DNR Fisheries Guidebook

for more informaƟon.

Vehicles are not permiƩed on park

ground, but visitors can access the

park via wheelchair accessible trails at the 5200 block of

Calvert Road in College Park, or Osage Street and Swath-

more Court in Berwyn Heights.

Greenbelt Lake Trail —1.25

miles. 555 Crescent Rd. Scenic

and has a big playground at Bud-

dy Aƫck Park, but gets very

crowded.

Fairland Regional Park

Trails—we usually park behind

the Ice Gardens and walk down

the hill to the lake to pick up the

trail either around the pond or

into the woods trail (takes you to

Greencastle Rd.)

Riverfront Park Trail in

Laurel City—1.5 miles of hiker/

biker trail.

Patuxent Wildlife Center

Trails — 10901 Scarlet Tanager

bikes. Well worn, mostly unpaved trails and usually not

Old Line Fine Wines and Spirits and

The Bistro at Old Line Fine Wines and Spirits

I thought I would pass on a bit of news that might be of interest to my Montpelier neighbors.

Old Line Fine Wines and Spirits (www.oldlinewine.com/) recently opened in Beltsville, MD in what used to be

the Circuit City just south of the intersecƟon of Route 1 and Powder Mill Road. I believe they opened a bit over

three months ago. I only came to know about this store because Jon, one of the folks who worked at IMWine

in Fulton/Maple Lawn, had leŌ. I asked where he went and found out it was here. He is very wine knowledge‐

able and has a great palate and will listen to what you like and be able to make recommendaƟons for you.

The shop itself is quite large. It is similar in scale to Corridor Fine Wines at 198/BW Parkway, as well as similar

in layout/style of the interior. What is different here is that the folks are friendly, helpful and really listen to

you. The selecƟon is great, and I suspect will be much more dynamic to their customers than Corridor is (whichis owned by the Total Wine folks). Their beer selecƟon is mind‐blowing, too. You really need to see what they

have to get excited. It's very easy to find interesƟng wines and beers to try. I bought two cases of wine and

could easily have bought more. :)

What is even more interesƟng is that they also have a Bistro/Wine Bar. They have a somewhat compact menu,

but step it up daily with specials. Plus they do wine themed dinners and have 16 special brews of beer on tap

at any given Ɵme. I have not yet been to the bistro, but did check out the menu and it looks good. WIll report

back once I have tried it. Their steak frites are calling me.

What is most exciƟng about this is have both of these kinds of places in one, and having it be just a short 6 to 8

minute ride from the neighborhood. And they are locally owned and run ‐ even beƩer.
