Hammonds Ferry Road

The facelift for Hammonds Ferry Road in Lansdowne is almost done, say County engineers. The busy street has been resurfaced, trees planted, new sidewalks and traffic calming islands installed, streetlights mounted and a new bus stop erected. A few cross walks remain to be done, but the work (costing $2.3 million) will be finished well before the end of the year.

Water Cleaning and Lining in Lansdowne

Public Works will improve the water lines in the area bounded by Hammonds Ferry and Hollins Ferry Road and the Baltimore City line. Water mains serving about 2,000 residences will be cleaned, relined and chlorinated. The project, which began in August, is expected to cost $2.2 million and should be completed within two years. It's now 20 percent complete.

An Island for Edmondson

Public Works will construct a traffic-calming island at Edmondson and Rosewood avenues (ADC 48 16 K7) during the fall construction season. According to County engineers, the island will be a small, pedestrian refuge located near an existing cross walk and should contribute to pedestrian safety. The island, which is expected to cost about $5,000, will be eight feet by 20 feet, and will be located in the existing two-way center turn lane.
