The Columbia Association removed the dead and dying bushes and requested that I contact the County to install new evergreen bushes to camouflage the ugly control box since the median is on County property. Will they be installed this fall or next spring?

Thank you for your enquiry. Howard County does not install or maintain plantings to obstruct the visibility of a traffic control signal cabinet.

Thank you for reporting your issue/request to the Howard County Department of Public Works\Traffic Engineering Division. This issue has been addressed and will be closed in Tell HoCo. If you require more information, please contact Department of Public Works Highways office 410-313-2430.

The shrubbery would replace the ones that the the County had justified planting a few years ago at that location. Since the replacement would simply be respecting the County's original policy decision, it deserves re-opening action on this modest request.
