The City of Bowie, Maryland requests proposals from qualified and experienced firms to provide Construction Management Services for all aspects of construction of a new single sheet ice arena located at 7800 Laurel Bowie Road, Bowie, Maryland, 20715.

The new rink design info is at https://www.cityofbowie.org/841/New-Proposed-Bowie-Ice-Arena-2024.

I have no additional pertinent information. But given the recent maintenance issues at the current site, it is important that something newer be built soon.

There does not appear to be a safe, practical way for pedestrians or bicycles to get across route 197 from the south or east of the site - not even for kids at the elementary school, directly across 197 from the proposed site, or for that matter from the senior center just south of it. I would love it if routes were be provided, along with a light with a pushable button for pedestrians or bicycles crossing 197, and/or a pedestrian bridge across 197.
