CARNEY, MD—Baltimore County Councilman David Marks on Monday announced the approval of a traffic safety project for Avondale Road, one of the busiest corridors in Carney.

The project involves the construction of four standard speed bumps along the route from Joppa Road to the Baltimore Beltway overpass, and a brick raised crosswalk in the vicinity of Second Avenue.

The traffic safety plan was proposed by the Baltimore County Department of Public Works and supported by over 75 percent of local residents. Councilman Marks thanked resident Al Korpisz for his work gathering signatures.

“There is simply no way police can conduct enforcement all the time, and speed cameras can only be installed right near a school,” said Councilman Marks. “That is why we need to reengineer roads to reduce speeding as much as possible. I would like to thank Al Korpisz and all residents for their support, and the Department of Public Works for sponsoring this plan.”

A map of the improvements is below. The project will cost about $40,000 and be completed this fall.
