In theory, it should be easy for me to walk from my office to Ken Ulman’s office. The temporary county offices are right across the street on Dobbin Road from my office. In practice, it is a far from pedestrian friendly experience. As I’ve written before, Dobbin Road, a major commercial area, has no sidewalks. It also has no crosswalks.
Maybe this is because the businesses on Dobbin Road also have no representation on the Columbia Association Board of Directors. Like many commercial areas in Columbia, the businesses pay the CPRA assessment but have no one to represent them because they are not located in a village.
If these areas got half the attention that Symphony Woods is getting from CA, I’d bet we’d have sidewalks.
