Tenth District Delegates letter to constituent, February 25, 1992

GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND 21401 February 25, 1992 The Tenth Legislative District Delegates acknowledge and thank you for sending along a copy of the Longford Community Association, Inc.'s petition to the Federal Highway Administration. We agree that it is outrageous, indeed, that a breach of faith has been committed in the delay of the long overdue construction of sound barriers at Longford. Moreover, we realize that the availability of new federal highway funds, along with the proposed widening of the Baltimore Beltway, has understandably aroused your concern and interest for installation of sound barriers at Longford. It is our present understanding, however, that this new federal money is earmarked only for widening, bridge safety, and geometric projects. At this point, the Highway Administration has not even identified any new projects nor has a decision been made as to when the projects will begin once they have been identified. A great deal still needs to be worked out before any decisions are made, although we have been told by the Highway Administration that Longford is not a priority area with respect to widening.
