TACOP National Night Out On August 5, 2014, Baltimore County Police and the Towson Area Citizens On Patrol (TACOP) will host National Night Out to spotlight crime prevention in Towson. Highlights of this annual event include a rally and a parade featuring a police escorted motorcade driving through Towson’s 25 COP neighborhoods. Every year, National Night Out attracts hundreds of residents who turn on their lights, walk their neighbor-hood streets, interact with the police, cheer the motorcade and applaud TACOP’s community crime fighting initiatives.

National Night Out is celebrated across the country on first Tuesday of August. This year’s event will begin with a rally on August 5th at 5:30 PM. Towson residents, TACOP volunteers and representatives of the Police and Community Relations Council (PCRC), Providence Volunteer Fire Company and the Baltimore County Police will gather for the rally at Towson Marketplace, in front of Michael’s on Putty Hill Road. At the conclu-sion of the rally, the police-escorted motor-cade will lead the Fire and Police Vehicle Parade.

All National Night Out rally attendees are asked to bring 2-3 non-perishable items of food or travel size toiletries to the rally, which will be donated to the Assistance Center of Churches to help Towson residents in need.

WIA President’s Letter In my first six months as president of the Wiltondale Improvement Association, the most frequent complaint I have received from neighbors is regarding the poor conditions of our roads. I have com-municated these concerns to our County and State representatives and I have also reported potholes to the Bureau of Highways.

While our elected officials all seem to agree that our roads are in need of repair, the problem is that the County does not have a realistic budget for road resurfacing. In fact, there is not enough money to repair all of the roads in need. Therefore, if this issue is important to us, we all need to report poor road conditions when we see them and continue to inform our elected officials that this issue is a priority for us.

Here’s how you can help. You can report a pothole, damaged sidewalk, curb and gutters or other problems online via http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/needtocontact/highways or you can call the Bureau of Highways at 410-887-3560. When they receive a request for repairs, it is forwarded to one of 11 Highways shops located throughout the County. Normally crews should be able to make repairs to the pothole within 48 business hours. If, however, you notice the problem you reported has not been repaired within that timeframe, you are encouraged to contact our County Councilman’s office at 410-887-3384 or council5@baltimorecountymd.gov and our County Executive’s office at 410-887-2450 or kevin@balti-morecountymd.gov. If you do contact our elected officials, please remember to ask them to make road resurfacing in Wiltondale a budget priority.

Hopefully if the County continues to hear from Wiltondale residents we will see some positive results sooner than later.

Enjoy the rest of your summer. The next Wiltondale monthly board meeting is Tuesday, September 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Ascension Church. Hope to see you there.
