Arbutus Library Officials, Patrons Welcome New Sidewalk

Crews will install new sidewalks along what the library's branch manager called a "twisty, windy, country road."

Last week, Baltimore County officials announced plans to build a new sidewalk on Sulphur Spring Road between the Arbutus Library and Shelbourne Road.

The Arbutus Times reports library staffers and patrons are thrilled and relieved for the idea.

"Ever since we opened, people have been asking about sidewalks," branch manager Ross told the paper, calling the quarter-mile stretch a "twisty, windy, country road."

"I see people walking on [the road] all the time," an unidentified Arbutus resident told the paper. "It's terrible really, and the road is very curvy."

The project will cost the county $300,000 and take about six weeks to complete, officials said last week.
