PERRY HALL, MD—Baltimore County Councilman David Marks on Tuesday announced the construction of a raised pedestrian crosswalk in front of Chapel Hill Elementary School.

The crosswalk is designed to slow traffic and improve safety for students and neighbors.

Construction will cost about $15,000 and work should be completed in September.

The Moores Meadows community and school principal were engaged as the proposal was finalized.

“I will do everything reasonable to improve safety along our corridors, particularly at school sites,” said Councilman Marks. “Many thanks to the Department of Public Works for working with my office on this initiative.”
