*Millions Were Set Aside, But Fixing the Intersection of Falls Road and Northern Parkway Still Hasn’t Started*
The intersection of Falls Road and Northern Parkway has seen 19 crashes this year, including a major accident recently involving a school bus. Fixing the intersection has been studied for years, and $1.9 million is currently approriated for the project, with another $4 million in planned funding. Yet no new design has been chosen, and no construction has begun. State traffic counts show that over 50 thousand cars use the intersection daily.

*New Pikesville Council-Member Karson Kamenetz Looks to Help Neighborhoods Add More Speed Bumps*
Newly elected Baltimore County Council-Member Karson Kamenetz (District 4, which includes Pikesville), said he frequently receives complaints from residents about speeding. Kamanetz hopes to change the existing process communities looking to add speed bumps must go through, to make it easier for speed bumps or other traffic calming measures to be added.
Currently, roads in Baltimore County that carry too many cars are blocked from receiving speed bumps, regardless of how dangerous speeding cars are for families and children living along the road.
