             Better Roads

Susan worked with Governor Ehrlich and the County Commissioners to revive improvement plans for Routes 32 and 26 that had stalled under their predecessors. Benefits of this new state-county partnership already are visible. For example, the long-closed Korner Karry-Out building at the intersection of Route 32 and Liberty Road has been demolished to make way for traffic-flow improvements. Plans to widen Route 32 through Carroll and Howard counties also advanced.


















Demolition of the long-closed Korner Karry-Out building clears the way for traffic-flow improvements at the intersection of Route 32 and Liberty Road.

  • Transportation projects underway
    • Traffic light at Progress Way/Post Office (complete)
    • Planning underway to install a traffic light at the intersection of Piney Ridge Parkway/Mac Beth Way and Route 32 in addition to widening Route 32 from Route 26 south to MacBeth Way/Piney Ridge Parkway
    • Worked with the Ehrlich Administration and the Town of Sykesville to smooth funding and construction of the new Route 32/851 intersection, which serves as the gateway to the Warfield Corporate and Culture Center.
       
  • Transportation improvements on the horizon
    • Helped win state funds for safety, traffic flow and streetscape improvements on Liberty Road. Will work with the State Department of Transportation and County Commissioners to make sure the job gets done.
    • Urged the state to speed up construction plans for widening Route 32, the most heavily traveled two-lane highway in the state.
    • Worked to accelerate state projects for the widening of Route 70 between Route 29 and Marriottsville Road
       
  • Highway funding
    • Co-sponsored a Constitutional Amendment to ensure that the state Transportation Trust Fund be used for transportation purposes only.
    • Supported public/private partnerships for building roads.
    • Supported raising the financial penalties for violators of our laws to go toward the Transportation Trust Fund.
