ALLEY CONSTRUCTION COMING
During the first week of March, Baltimore County will begin constructing three alleys in Pikesville for residents on Howard Avenue, Colonial Road and Salem Court. The construction (which will be 2,840 feet long and will cost $293,074) will begin on Colonial Road during the week of February 28 and is expected to take about a month, depending on the weather. All three alleys should be finished by the summer. During alley construction, residents will be notified about temporary changes to trash and recycling collection.

WATER LINE EXTENSION AT GLENCLIFFE CIRCLE AND OLD COURT ROAD
Baltimore County contractors are extending water service to 12 houses on Glencliffe Circle and Old Court Road. The new line, which will cost about $400,000, will run 1,783 feet. Work began in April and is about 97 percent complete. The job is awaiting final paving by the County’s contractor, which is anticipated for the end of March. Some paving has been finished.

PEDESTRIAN STUDY FOR PIKESVILLE
The Pikesville Pedestrian Study, which was on hold because of COVID-19, has been moving forward. Data collection for the study, which is assessing pedestrian conditions and developing designs to accommodate walkers, drivers and cyclists, resumed in early October, following the confirmation of synagogue service traffic by the consultant Wallace and Montgomery. The completed data, along with the consultant’s recommendations, was delivered in early December for review by traffic engineers who have completed the Pikesville Pedestrian Study. Recommendations have been categorized into short-, medium- and long-term solutions. They are being reviewed to determine feasibility of costs and implementation.
Information: Questions should be directed to the Division of Construction Contracts, Department of Public Works and Transportation at 410-887-3531.
WATER LINE CONSTRUCTION ON FALLS ROAD
The Department of Public Works and Transportation will replace more than 11,000 feet of water line on Falls Road between the Baltimore City line and Brightfield Road, near Interstate 695. The project, which will cost approximately $10,500,000, is scheduled to begin during the week of February 21 and will require approximately two years to complete. The replacement of the line—sections of which are more than 90 years old—will improve the reliability of the system. Much of the construction will be done between 9 a.m. and 5 a.m., and ingress and egress will be coordinated with (and provided for) all property owners. Falls Road will not be closed during construction, but there will be some lane closures during the day to accommodate construction schedules. Falls Road carries about 18,000 cars daily. There will be traffic delays.
