Gracious God, the eyes of our hearts see the planned M83 Highway through Dayspring as relocated; the integrity of the Dayspring Silent Retreat Center protected; this, or something better, manifested for our community, in totally satisfying and harmonious ways, to the highest good of all concerned. And so it is. May the grace of this seeing help to bring your vision to reality. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen

The Midcounty Highway Extended project (M83) threatens the pristine forests of Dayspring and the harmony found there, and is not a necessary project. Many transportation alternatives exist and could be improved, so important in a time when climate change demands sustainable solutions, not more fossil fuel combustion infrastructure.
Please consider sending an email or letter to the Montgomery County Council voicing your opposition to M83.
“The vision of the TAME Coalition is:
- Protecting the last remaining high bio-diverse wetlands, interior forests and stream valleys in North Germantown-Greenway Stream Valley Park (northern greenbelt in Germantown), which help make up Seneca Creek Watershed; and protecting Whetstone Run Watershed in Montgomery Village.
- Preserving well-established residential neighborhoods in Montgomery Village, Gaithersburg and Germantown, Maryland.
- Protecting Dayspring Silent Retreat Center from noise pollution.
- Supporting a fundamental change in balanced transportation planning that moves toward a greener use of public transportation.
- Securing mass transit service through: Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT), Rapid Transit System (RTS), Purple Line, and Full Service Marc Rail.
- Advocating for Montgomery County, Maryland to become a leader of public transit development in the Washington metro area for the 21st century.“
Peace
