Community Petition Results in Three New Speed Bumps

Baltimore County Councilman David Marks released the following report on Monday:

“With local support, the Baltimore County Department of Public Works has installed three speed bumps on East Avenue in Carney, near the intersection of Sperl Avenue.

“The $20,000 project was initiated following complaints about heavy and fast traffic. A majority of residents near the proposed bumps signed a petition in support of the traffic calming.

“‘This project should lower traffic speed on a major neighborhood street in Carney,’ Councilwoman Cathy Bevins commented.

“’When there is community support, we almost always support these initiatives to improve public safety,’ added Councilman David Marks.”
