Fifth Annual

Rural Roads Meeting

April 25

(Towson, April 2, 2013) The Department of Public Works will hold its fifth annual public meeting to discuss rural roads, bridges, repaving and traffic issues at the Oregon Ridge Park Conference Center (The Sequoia Room), 13401 Beaver Dam Road in Cockeysville (21030) on Thursday, April 25, between 6:30 and 8:30 PM. The meeting fulfills the County’s pledge to meet annually with residents interested in preserving the rural character of the County and to apprise them of infrastructure plans.

These annual public meetings, held at various sites, evolved from the Rural Roads Standards, a citizen-government agreement, approved by the County Council, which codified standards and policies for road and bridge maintenance in rural areas. This year’s meeting will review paving plans and bridge repair or replacement schedules during the next two years.

As in the past, residents and interested parties will be able to speak one-on-one with Public Works engineers on specific, local issues, following a short introduction from Ed Adams, Director of Public Works. The public will also be able to leave written comments. For more information, call the Director’s Office, Department of Public Works: 410 887-2171.
