Transitioning from the La Plata Ward 4 Update to Crosswalks

May 13, 2025 • David Jenkins

After completing a rewarding four-year term on the La Plata Town Council, I’m excited to rebrand and expand the La Plata Ward 4 Update podcast and YouTube channel.

Page 2 - The new platform, Crosswalks: Smart Growth, Stronger Communities, will bring fresh stories, expert conversations, and thoughtful insights on the issues that shape how we grow and live — planning, transportation, housing, economic and community development, and more.

Crosswalks focuses on how La Plata, Charles County, and Southern Maryland can become more resilient, sustainable, and people-centered. It aims to connect people, share knowledge, and contribute to building stronger, healthier communities by highlighting key policies, plans, and perspectives.

I’ve also launched a new Substack to support this work — check it out and subscribe at: davidjenkins.substack.com or https://davidjenkins.substack.com/

Thanks for continuing the journey with me. I look forward to this transition

Stay well!
