Dulaney Valley

Drivers might endure traffic jams on Interstate 695 this weekend while traffic patterns are altered at the Dulaney Valley Road interchange as part of a continuing project to make that section of the highway safer and reduce congestion.Between 7 p.m. Sunday and 5 a.m. Monday, the three lanes of the Beltway's outer loop will be shifted so the right shoulder becomes the right lane. The same will happen on the inner loop starting at 7 p.m. Monday and ending at 5 a.m. Tuesday.The lane shifts are part of the $7 million reconstruction of the Beltway/Dulaney Valley Road interchange and construction on the Dulaney Valley Road bridge.

Baltimore County police and fire personnel throughout the region are participating today in the funeral for Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Department member Gene Kirchner, who died Thursday of injuries he suffered in a fire last week in Reisterstown.

County police say Walnut Avenue was closed between Greenspring Avenue and Park Heights Avenue beginning at 11:30 a.m., and will reopen when the procession has left Har Sinai.

Starting this weekend, motorists who travel on Dulaney Valley Road through Towson should be prepared to sit longer in traffic, as two loops of the cloverleaf interchange at the Beltway are snipped -- a $7 million project to make the intersection safer.The redesign of the interchange is the first of several projects that will eliminate loops in cloverleaf intersections in the continuing effort to improve heavily traveled Interstate 695."This weekend is the first major step to making the project happen," said State Highway Administration spokeswoman Valerie Burnette Edgar.

A proposal to extend a major thoroughfare in Towson has sparked a protest from hundreds of residents who fear the project would harm their neighborhoods.In a letter-writing campaign, they are asking county officials to delete a recommendation in Towson's growth plan that calls for stretching Bosley Avenue to Dulaney Valley Road."Our biggest concern is mostly traffic," Cheryl Reilly of Towson Park said yesterday. "If the extension goes through, we're afraid it will bring more traffic at higher rates of speed."

When Debi and Frank Culotta were married in June 1996, the couple knew that their three-bedroom condo in Deer Fox in Timonium wasn't big enough.It was a second marriage for both. Now the Culottas had four children between the two of them -- some grown up and out of the home, some still in college, and all of them coming home on the weekends. And sometimes they brought friends."This is what we like. Having our family and friends all around," Debi said. "Weekend cookouts, basketball games, big family outings, making huge pots of chili, watching a football game"But it's hard to have a cookout or a large family gathering in a condo.

Tearing down the Dulaney Valley Apartments and building more than three times as many upscale apartments and condominiums in their place would be a fine idea, if not for the traffic it would bring, Towson residents said at a meeting last night. With its proposed brick and stone accents, courtyards and hidden parking, the $160 million development would look nice, community leaders have said. But at a community session at the Towson public library, residents expressed worries about the traffic that would be generated by about 900 units proposed at Dulaney Valley Road and Fairmount Avenue, across from Goucher College and less than a block from Towson Town Center.
