PERRYVILLE — Residents who live along Cecil and Maryland avenues are asking the town to help them tame a neighbor’s crop of bamboo. “The bamboo hangs over sheds, solar panels are in danger,” Veronica Kranz — who lives on Maryland Avenue — told Perryville’s mayor and commissioners. “We’re asking you to remove the bamboo from the alley and keep it clear.” While Maryland law allows counties and towns to enact its own legislation to control this plant, Mayor Michelle Linkey said she is only aware of one town that has such a law on its books and it’s not Perryville. “Maryland has 157 towns and only one has that ordinance,” Linkey told Kranz, adding she will be contacting that town. Montgomery County prohibits the sale, planting or transplanting of running bamboo. Frederick County went a step further, levying fines of up to $1,000 per day for selling or distributing “invasive bamboo.” Kranz said she and her neighbors have tried to work with the property owner to no avail. She pointed to town history and law in her search for assistance. “Since 1902, there’s been a public alley there,” Kranz said of the access road running in between the homes. “I’m

PERRYVILLE — The section of Belvidere Road that travels over Interstate 95 will be closed to traffic from Nov. 6 through Nov. 16, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority. This is part of the construction of the new interchange for I-95. Belvidere Road is being widened to four lanes for the ingress and egress on and off the interstate. ”The work includes improvements to Belvidere Road to accommodate the interchange and larger bridge structure,” an MDTA spokesman said. “The project will replace the existing overpass and construct new ramps connecting Belvidere Road to I-95.” When it was officially launched by then-Gov. Larry Hogan in October 2022, the plan was to have it completed by 2025. MDTA has not announced a new completion date. The $65 million project aims to reduce truck traffic on US Route 40 and Maryland Routes 222 and 272. Traffic will be detoured via Theodore Road.
