My Facebook Page (David Jenkins, Ward 4 Update) and podcast/video series (La Plata Ward 4 Update) are evolving to become Crosswalks, providing an independent, factual look at planning and development in Southern Maryland.

Crosswalks will continue to bring you information, - from land use and zoning to economic development, housing, transportation, and infrastructure. I will break down the policies, projects, critical issues, and decisions that impact and shape our region, communities, and daily lives. I also hope to include expert interviews and discussions. 

With limited local news coverage, my hope is Crosswalks will fill the gap—informing, analyzing, and connecting the dots about growth and development affecting Southern Maryland. 

Stay tuned as I transition to Crosswalks by May 2025, bringing you even more insightful conversations about the future of our communities.

Next are updates and reminders about the upcoming La Plata Town Elections, and the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Budget calendar.
