Stoneleigh-Anneslie Storm Water Project Resumes
The Department of Public Works and Transportation and Transportation is addressing storm water concerns in the Stoneleigh-Anneslie community and updating the 100-year-old drainage system. Baltimore County earmarked $1 million for the project in 2018. A system was designed last year and the County's contractor began work in February with the relocation of water lines. Work, however, was halted in the spring because of COVID-19 but is resuming with the installation of pipes and manholes on Kingston Road, Wardman Avenue, Marlborough Road, Avondale Road and a part of Regester Avenue. Water line relocations began on July 28. Working hours, traffic changes and parking impacts will be announced as the job progresses.
