A new study has just come out. The new plan is to follow all the major roads in the area. All of these roads are extremely busy. From York road, Padonia, Timonium and thought lutherville area. They wish to cut traffic lanes on these roads. Also want to expand the sidewalks off of Thornton road to 10 feet to make the new trail. That would make most front yards and driveway there unusable. 72 million dollar project. I think this will create traffic nightmares in the whole area. Also on a side not. You cannot carry on the trail state park property. If it runs in front of your driveway I assume you would be breaking the law leaving home with a permit. I would love to have some input and suggestions on how to stop this.
I also understand that this is only a small part of the expantion. Other section may include all the way down York rd.
