Hi Chris, It is impossible to wait on the other side of the street. There are no side walks. I wait out there with my elementary school children because people speed down that road. Is it possible to get someone down here to trim or cut down the pine tree. That is what is causing the issue of people seeing that children are waiting for the bus.

J. Barker met with resident at 5037 where the tree comes from private property on 10/26/18. She is unaware of any issues concerning the children at the bus stop. I tried to make contact with Sarah by ringing the doorbell and leaving a voicemail with my contact information. Here is a picture from my visit. There is a street light opposite the location at Darlington Road. No work to be done at this time.

Thank you for contacting the Howard County DPW Bureau of Highways. This issue is now closed in Tell HoCo. If you require more information, please contact Department of Public Works Highways office 410-313-7450.

Jim Barker, your photo is from the front of my house. The bus stop is between 5037 & 5041 Durham Road East where Darlington is the cross street. The tree is not on private property.

We were able to have the bus stop moved. Thanks.
