Update on the restoration effort in Parkville
The Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability (DEPS) has commissioned BayLand Consultants and Designers to design a stream restoration along a tributary to the Lower Gunpowder River. The restoration will restore approximately 3,465 linear feet of eroded and degraded stream banks and beef up protection for the sanitary sewers. This project extends from behind 2500 Lampost Lane, continues under Proctor Lane and ends at approximately 200 feet upstream of Waltham Woods Road. This restoration will include native instream materials such as various-sized stone, logs, and root-wads, as well as out-of-stream floodplain and riparian native plantings. The design will take between two and three years, and instream construction is planned for one season. DEPS will communicate with the community as the project design advances.

Texas Force Main Extension and Diversion Sewer Rehabilitation
The Department of Public Works and Transportation began rehabilitating 2,100 linear feet of 33-inch sanitary sewer force main in Cockeysville at a cost of $4,487,000. The project limits are from Edgemoore Road at Timonium Road to Greenmeadow Drive, terminating at Cinder Road. A small traffic diversion will be set up at Cinder Road and Tree Lane during construction. Expect lane closures and minor traffic disruptions during this time. A temporary sanitary sewer bypass line will be buried in the roads mentioned until the project is complete. There will be three temporary access openings along the alignment of the sewer line to insert the new liner. The preliminary work began in spring 2023. The project is 40 percent complete.
