Just rec'd Mayfield News with Traffic Calming proposals. Am resident on Mayfield Ave. for 30 years. Spend much time at desk in front of house, 2nd floor, at computer and do not see where Mayfield Ave. needs ''traffic calming.'' If you narrow the street, what happens to our property? Taxes? Only place we see speeders is on Crossland between Erdman and Chesterfield.
Because I may be unable to attend Wednesday mtg., I would like to voice my opinions on some of your other proposals.
Constructing median on Harford Road? What do we do with the rush-hour traffic?
Beautify gateways? How about beautifying the median strips on Norman and Crossland so the Mayfield residents can enjoy them. Get people to clean up after their dogs! I do. I also have to clean up after other people's dogs before I can cut my grass!
I do agree that raising sidewalk at Lake Montebello would make it more enjoyable for the walkers so they can see the lake.
Construction of sidewalk on golf course side of Erdman Ave.? This would create a safety hazard for pedestrians. You obviously have never walked near a golf course... you tend to get struck by stray golf balls!
Painting crosswalks, in my experience, only makes the streets ugly and garish; no one pays attention to their purpose. Perfect Example = the new circle at Towson at Joppa & Dulaney Valley Rd. You take your life in your hands trying to cross in those crosswalks. If you want to slow traffic, try putting in speed bumps like they did on Lake Ave. between Chinquapin and York Rd. I NEVER DRIVE THERE ANYMORE; THEY HAVE 7 SPEED BUMPS IN THAT 3-BLOCK SPAN!
How many cars have rammed into the brick wall at Erdman & Harford?
We have a beautiful community here; let's do a better job of maintaining what we have instead of tearing it up with money that could be put to better use!
This WEB site is a great idea and our Association does an outstanding job. I am sorry I am not more involved, but I belong to several other committees whose meetings always seem to fall on the same dates as our MIA. Will try to make Wednesday mtg if at all possible.
