CIA Meeting-BGE savings and SHA Plans for 695 Beltway Exit
The Carney Improvement Association (CIA) will meet on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 7 p.m. at Carney Elementary School, 3131 E. Joppa Road. The CIA will close the year with 2 very interesting guest speakers.
Bring your BGE bill with you because our first speaker, Phil Croskey, founder of PointClickSwitch.com, will demsytify energy choice and provide you with a streamlined approach to compare supplier rates from multiple electricity suppliers and enroll with a lower rate
supplier directly from the website.
Our second speaker, Chrisina Minkler with Fran Ward from the Maryland State Highway Association (SHA) will speak about the redesign of 695 Inner Loop entrance/Exit at Harford Road (Route 147). This redesign project received approval on March 27, 2012 for use of funds from the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board. Very little design engineering will be completed by the CIA May 16, 2012 meeting date. SHA is in the data collection mode (e.g., acquiring surveys, designating utilities). Therefore, SHA is fairly early in the design process. An aerial map with the improvement shown in plan view will be shown. SHA will be able to speak to the operational improvement that drove us to select this project.
