Letter from Delegate Aumann re Dulany Valley Road Project

Dear Constituents,

Today, Tuesday, August 31, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration will begin a $212,000 project to apply asphalt slurry seal on the pavement along MD 146 (Dulaney Valley Road), from north of Timonium Road to the bridge over the Loch Raven Reservoir.

The slurry sealing protects the pavement from weather-related deterioration and improves pavement safety by increasing surface friction. This work follows SHA’s recent project to mill and patch deteriorated pavement along this segment of MD 146; the repair work was completed earlier this summer.

During road work, temporary lane closures and flagging operations along sections of MD 146 may occur at any time between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. The slurry seal project is scheduled for completion in mid-October. The State’s contractor for this project is Slurry Pavers, Inc. of Glen Allen, VA.

For more information about highway maintenance activities along MD 146, citizens may contact SHA’s District Four Office – Maintenance Division at 410-229-2360, toll free at 1-866-998-0367 or by email at shadistrict4@sha.state.md.us.

Sincerely,

Delegate Susan L.M. Aumann

· Reported times of visits were 5:45 PM and 7:45 PM

· He was selling a GE digital security system

· He showed a list of “neighbors” that the resident did not recognize, he tried to appear like he recently spoke with their neighbors, possibly to gain trust.

· He said it was free, but after speaking with another resident, he told them there was a fee

Removal of Toys from the Tot Lot

The Rodgers Forge board has received several emails about the removal of toys from the Tot Lot. Some of the messages accuse the board of being responsible for the removal of the toys.



The Tot Lot is Baltimore County property and the County is 100% responsible for the development and maintenance of the Tot Lot.



The Rodgers Forge board did not advocate for the removal of all the toys from the Tot Lot.



Over the years, the Rodgers Forge board has fielded residents' comments about many issues related to the Tot Lot: trash, dated or broken equipment, unleashed pets, pet excrement in the field, potential site enhancement, the addition of new equipment, etc.).



The Rodgers Forge board has always offered its support to improve the Tot Lot, but it is the County that has the final word in all matters relating to the Tot Lot.



If you are concerned about the situation with the Tot Lot, we encourage you to reach out to Baltimore County's Department of Parks and Recreation.
