Perry Hall leaders advocate for completion of traffic and park projects

The Baltimore County Budget Town Hall for District 5 took place on March 20, 2025, featuring discussions led by County Executive Klossmeier and Councilman David Marks. The meeting aimed to address community needs and budget allocations for the upcoming fiscal year.

The first speaker, Pat Keller, a resident of Perry Hall, represented two organizations: NeighborSpace and the Perry Hall Improvement Association. Keller expressed gratitude for the county's ongoing support for NeighborSpace, which focuses on developing small community parks. He emphasized the importance of this funding, even though it is a relatively small amount.

Keller then outlined four ongoing projects that the Perry Hall Improvement Association seeks to complete. The first project is the Honeygo Roundabout at Honeygo Boulevard and Crossroads, which has already begun. He also mentioned the need to finish Lane Park, which he described as a valuable asset to the community. Additionally, Keller highlighted the importance of completing a traffic calming study on Silver Spring Road, which is currently underway. Lastly, he addressed the need for improvements at the Honeygo Boulevard and Java Road intersection, where two left turn signals are missing.

Following Keller, Daniel Dean, the research chair for the Marshy Point Nature Center Council and a representative for the Landmarks Preservation Commission, spoke about his commitment to advocating for the nature center and its initiatives.

The meeting concluded with a focus on the importance of community projects and the need for continued support from the county to ensure their completion. The discussions underscored the collaborative efforts between residents and local government to enhance community infrastructure and resources.
