The Town of Denton approved a $294,699 proposal from Kompan Inc. to furnish and install the next phase of playground equipment at Sharp Road Park. The upcoming phase will bring brand new playground structures and safety surfacing designed specifically for kids aged 5 to 12 years old.  The playground expansion is part of a larger, multi-phase transformation of the 24-acre park complex, which is shared between the Town of Denton and Caroline County. 

Easton town leaders are asking for the state to install automated speed cameras along Route 50, and now they are asking the Talbot County Council to back them.   The Town of Easton has already sent a formal letter to the State Highway Administration requesting the cameras, and the Talbot County Council is now working to send its own letter of support.  The town is requesting this support for the segment spanning from MD 322 (Easton Parkway) Southern Junction to the MD 322 Northern Junction, as well as from the MD 322 Northern Junction to the intersection of MD 309 (Black Dog Alley) and Airport Road.  The stretch in question qualifies as an area of high risk for “vulnerable” road users, including bicyclists and pedestrians, under a new state law that takes effect October 1st.  The Talbot County Council is expected to continue discussion on its drafted letter of support at its next meeting on September 22nd.   

Several communities are hosting ceremonies, vigils, and tribute events in the region to observe the 25th anniversary of September 11th.  Talbot County will have a remembrance from 8 to 9:40 AM at the corner of West and Dover Streets in Easton.  Caroline County will mark the anniversary starting at 8:30 at the Caroline County Courthouse.
