Mount Airy plans for post office raise traffic concerns
Mount Airy planning commission reviewed a sketch plan for a new 2.5 acre Mount Airy post office at Md 27 and Park Avenue. They urged a traffic impact study, noting potential widening on Park Avenue and possible noise and lighting issues for nearby homes. The plan includes 57 employee spaces and 20 for mail trucks with deliveries at dawn and late afternoon. The site would serve ZIP 21771 as a local central office, not a distribution hub. The commission also discussed Kraft Annexation, recommended to town council, and approved a temporary space addition for VanSant Plumbing and a 12 by 12 foot shed for Stauffer's Funeral Home.
