Councilman Marks: Truck Restrictions Announced on Honeygo Streets

The changes will encourage trucks to use Honeygo Boulevard instead of Cowenton Avenue and Joppa Road in the Chapel Hill Elementary area.

New truck restrictions will be implemented in Perry Hall's Honeygo area. The changes will hopefully encourage trucks to use Honeygo Boulevard instead of Cowenton Avenue and Joppa Road in the Chapel Hill Elementary School area.

Trucks making deliveries to the Honeygo Village Center will no longer be able to use Cowenton Avenue between Philadelphia and Joppa Roads, and Joppa Road between Philadelphia Road and Scott Moore Way and Cowenton Avenue. Signs should be completed on or before September 14th.

The Department of Public Works made the changes after our office received complaints from constituents and an investigation by police and county engineers.

Honeygo Boulevard was always designed to carry truck traffic. Our neighborhood streets should not be overwhelmed with trucks making deliveries. I would like to thank the county for acting to improve neighborhood safety.
