Pikesville Needs Sidewalks Now

I live in this area and am scared to walk with my
children because without sidewalks it is unsafe.
We need sidewalks now!

Get sidewalks on our block!

I would love to go walking with my kids to get
excursive and fresh air . but there is no safe way
to walk in my own neighborhood. im not looking for
much just the main roads that cars drive so fast
and are hard for them to see us like old court,
seven mile and Stevenson.

Hello, I am very concerned about my kids walking
around with out sidewalks. I would like them to be
able to visit friends without worrying about being
hit by a car. It would greatly improve the
neighborhood quality of life is side walks were
installed. Thanks, Hanna

It needs to be wide enough for two people to walk
side by side with a buffer between the sidewalk
and the road. Thanks

We need sidewalks in Stevenson and old court.
It’s imperative. There’s a middle
school on seven mile lane and a large private
school on old court. The roads are so dangerous.

Sidewalks allow pedestrians to walk safely. Lets
prevent a pedestrian accident. Be proactive.

I agree that sidewalks in the Stevenson Rd./Old
Court area of Pikeville a safer and better
community for all who live here. I am not
traditionally Shomer Shabbat, so when I drive on
Shabbat I know to be extra careful, but not all
driving through our neighborhood do. I remember
having to re-route during Yom Kippur (I was
driving home from Kol Nidre) because a pedestrian
was hit and emergency crews had to come out. We
need sidewalks for many reasons, but safety for
our community on Shabbat and Yom Tov must be a top
priority.

I want to be able to walk my child to Fort
Garrison Elementary School, but the lack of
sidewalks on Stevenson road makes it too
dangerous. Please put these sidewalks in!

We need a sidewalk on old court and green spring.
We have kids that want to walk to Beth Tfiloh
school and also people want to be able to walk to
Quarry lake.

Please help. It is very important and helps out
young kids Interact with other kids and be outside
more. If there were sidewalks in our neighborhood
we would be able to allow our kids to walk to
their friends house in order to play with them.

Please we need this for our kids safety

I've lived near the intersection of Old Court Rd
and Stevenson, walking to synagogue weekly to
Darchei Tzedek. Many close calls with cars,
particularly up and down the hill on 7 mile
between Old Court and Stephenson. As more Sabbath
observant families move into the community, the
need for sidewalks has become critical. Happy to
give up some of my property for safety

Very important to install sidewalks. Let’s
not wait till we gd forbid have a tragedy.

Sidewalks save lives!

Sidewalks are needed on Stevenson Rd, Old Forest
Rd . I live in the neighbor hood and it’s
dangerous for pedestrians . There are a lot of
people that walk on Old Forest going to Beth
Tfiloh .

Sidewalks are important for everyone! Nobody loses
from having safe walking areas in our neighborhood
:)

When will elected officials prioritize safer
streets for kids?

I like to walk to my brothers house on Shabbat and
I’ve noticed how difficult it is to get
there because there’s no sidewalks
especially around 7 mile an old court. I believe
this initiative is very important and will save
lives

Very glad to see that people trying to make it
safe to walk on these very dangerous roads in
pikesville especially for kids coming from the
school.

We need to make our main roads safe for everyone.
I'm always nervous to get hit by a car while
walking through the neighborhood. Let's get
this done before someone gets seriously hurt.

As an avid sidewalk walker, I frequently am
walking sidewalks. Specifically the sidewalks at
the Seven Mile and Old Court intersection. Or I
would if they existed. Sidewalks help keep our
drivers, pedestrians and children safe and the
Seven Mile/Old Court area is NOT safe AT ALL.
Please help keep our community and children safe
and work with us to get sidewalks and safety a
prominent part of our lives.

I take my life in my hands every Saturday walking
to synagogue! We need sidewalks on Stevenson Rd,
Old Court Road, and Seven Mile Lane!!!

I don't live in Pikesville but live in Baltimore
County District 1. That being said, I bike through
this neighborhood regularly and while the
conditions are bad for cyclists it's obvious they
are even worse for pedestrians. It's a shame that
such a vibrant residential community doesn't have
safe sidewalk infrastructure.

I live in Sudbrook Park. Beautiful historic
district. I have anxiety each time I take my dogs
and young daughters for walks through parts of
outlet40 neighborhood. Sidewalks would bring
beauty and peace of mind. Thank you.

I just moved to the area, and can immediately feel
how the lack of sidewalks make it harder to go
out, and more unsafe when we do.

Pikesville needs sidewalks and curb-bordered roads
with shoulders wide enough for bike-lanes -
everywhere! Pikesville is very bike-able - not
especially hilly - but entire neighborhoods are
out of reach to any mode of transport aside from
cars. It's 2022, absolutely shocking that
neighborhoods built in the 1960s were never
equipped with sidewalks or bike lanes, and
Stevenson Road is especially hazardous to
pedestrians and bikes, most egregiously from I-695
to Halcyon Road - an area which is densely settled
but all but impassable to pedestrians & bikes.

I have kids who love to walk, run and ride in
their neighborhood but it's so anxiety provoking
to let them because shoulders are so small and
with no sidewalks they're in danger from the
frequent dangerous drivers on our street who
surpass the super limit regularly. With schools so
close it would be amazing to walk them to school
but it just seems obvious that this is important
with so many children in the area.

its really unsafe in some parts of Pikesville i
hope we can get some safe ways to pedestrians able
to move around pikesville without a car

I walk down 7 Mile road from Old Court road every
week to go to synogauge. Not only is it "unsafe"
because of the lack of sidewalks, it's downright
TERRIFYING. This area is an accident (and
possibly worse) waiting to happen, as traffic
heading over the hill cannot see pedestrians
walking in the road. WE NEED A WALKWAY THERE
A.S.A.P.!!!!!!!

We travel from Old Court up Seven Mile and it is
very dangerous.

SIDEWALKS NOW!

Please build sidewalks on all Lightfoot for
safety.
