Description
I have attached a bunch of new pictures of the same issue, people walking in the road and not allowing vehicles to get by and blocking the road with vehicles making a safety hazard while parking in no parking areas. We are really concerned that there is going to be an accident. Also as you can see in the pictures, there is an ambulance and fire truck in this area which barely gave us room to pass by. If there were cars parked there illegally the emergency vehicles would not be able to get by. I hope that someone is looking at this and considering what can be done. We are hoping that you can get the road widened and/or get a pedestrian walkway and rail on the other side of the burm to keep them out of the road with their children, strollers, bikes, animals etcetera.
A lot of these pictures are taken during the week; the weekend is even worse. There are cars parking illegally, people walking in the road, vehicles pulling out of parking lots without looking and yielding and small children running in the road from in between cars.

While at this time there is not adequate County Right of Way for sidewalk construction or roadway widening in the vicinity of concern, notification has been forwarded to the Bureau of Engineering's Transportation and Special Projects Division for consideration and capital programming.
The No Parking signs on the roadside are on park property and were installed by the Department of Natural Resources. Requests for additional signing should be made to MD DNR, and request for enforcement can be made to the Howard County Police Department.
This information will be copied into a reply-all to your email inquiry.
