Site work for the Lake Kittamaqundi Dredging Project has begun
Part of this work entails closing a portion of the pathway at the south end of the lake to pedestrian traffic so that it may be used as a truck route. A temporary path will be provided so that access to Town Center via the Route 29 pedestrian bridge is maintained. This path will be isolated from the truck route and will have a mulch surface. Closure of the path is expected within the next two weeks. For more information on CA's dredging projects, visit www.ColumbiaAssociation.org/Dredging.

Tips For You

Child Passenger Safety Week is September 19 thru 25
Did you know that 75 percent of child safety seats are not installed properly? It’s important to make sure you choose the correct type of protection for your child – and have it installed properly.   
In Maryland, every child under 8 years old must ride in a booster seat or other child safety seat unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller or weighs more than 65 pounds. For the best possible protection, infants should remain in the back sea, in rear-facing child safety seats as long as possible. At a minimum, keep infants rear-facing until at least age 1 and 20 pounds
