Top issues during term (20)(Roads)
Davis Road safety, width, and school bus access
Testimony suggested emergency response times could degrade and road maintenance costs could rise under heavy commercial traffic.
Bridge Repair Services
Estimated $128,271 county share of $641,356 in design costs, 80% federally aided.
Route 26 corridor neglect and traffic safety
About six-tenths of a mile of sidewalk would connect existing segments on MD 26, per one resident's calculations; funding source unaddressed.
Old Baltimore Road closure and Chick-fil-A traffic
Not specified in the hearing; the site's commercial value could hinge on the road connection remaining open.

Route expenses stay roughly flat since the new route covers similar distance.
Freedom-area roadway planning study
$172,185 total, $48,000 covered by a federal-planning grant.
Road repair asphalt purchases
Up to $419,000 in FY27 road materials spending.
Traffic safety on Route 27 near Westview Road
Three-way stop safety at Liberty Road and Exchange Drive
Potential costs for rumble strips, signage, or signal upgrades would fall on the county, the state, or the private road owner depending on jurisdiction.
