Perry Hall leaders advocate for complete resurfacing of Honeygo Boulevard

During the recent 2025 Budget Town Hall for District 5 in Baltimore County, community members voiced significant concerns regarding local infrastructure, particularly the condition of Honeygo Boulevard. The discussion highlighted the need for comprehensive resurfacing of the road, which has not seen a full upgrade since its establishment in the early 1990s.

One resident pointed out that while the current budget allocates funds for resurfacing Honeygo Boulevard from Joppa Road to Ebenezer Road, it neglects the crucial section from Ebenezer Road to Silver Spring Road. This oversight was described as "foolhardy," given that the unaddressed section is older than the part slated for resurfacing. The resident emphasized that traffic utilizes the entire stretch of Honeygo Boulevard, making it essential for the entire road to be included in the resurfacing project.

The meeting also featured contributions from local leaders, including Councilman David Marks, who listened to the community's concerns. Jane Beals, chairman of the Perry Hall Democrats, highlighted the importance of political literacy among high school students, indicating a broader engagement with civic issues within the community.

The discussions at the town hall reflect a growing awareness and demand for infrastructure improvements in Baltimore County. As residents advocate for necessary funding to complete road projects, the implications for traffic safety and community accessibility are significant. The town hall served as a platform for residents to express their needs and for local officials to consider these priorities in the upcoming budget discussions. The outcome of these conversations will likely shape the future of infrastructure development in the area.
