Kittleman, County Executive Above: Construction at Blandair Regional Park; top right: announcement of Maryland Route 32 expansion; bottom right: construction of new Wilde Lake Middle School. Stream restorations and bioretention facilities improve water quality in Howard County and beyond. operations. This budget allocates $3.6 million toward construction of a new firestation in Elk:r:idge. I want to thank the Elk.ridgeVolunteer Fire Depaitment forits partnership to move this project forward. The budget also includes $9 million fora new 30,000-square-footstation in Waterloo. These new facilitiesare needed to improve emergency response times in the rapidly growing eastern part of the County. The budget includes $1 million forplanning and designing a third police station to be located in Columbia and $10.4 million forcritical upgrades to our agingpublic safety radiosystem. Radio system upgrades will ensure police, fire and emergency personnel have reliable communications equipment to provide assistance in emergencies. Recreation and Parks Our parks, playgrounds, open spaces and recreational programs are oftencited among the top reasons people chose to live in Howard County. This budget provides continued funding to upgrade and expand our recreational facilities.Phase 3 funding of $3 .25 million for Blandair Regional Park will provide a playground designed for children of all abilities, a dog park, picnic shelter and area for backyard games. Previously committed CIP funds will be used to construct a ball field and picnic pavilion at Troy Park to be completed this fall. During town hall meetings, residents have oftenrequested a second county-owned pool. In FY 2017, we will begin the planning process foran aquatics addition at the North Laurel Community Center. I also have allocated future capital spending to assure this facility becomes a reality. Transportation and Infrastructure As the County grows, improving our transportation infrastructureis critical to relieve congestion and spur economic development. I have proposed $3 million for road resurfacingand $22.9 million for road construction. Earlier this year with Governor Lall'y Hogan, I announced the expansion of Maryland Route 32 fromMaryland Route 108 to Linden Church Road. The County has committed excise tax funds to share the $33 million cost of this project with the State. Strengthening our transpmtation system goes beyond road improvements and expansions. Accordingly, and in line with the Complete Streets Policy I set fmth earlier this year, I have dedicated $3. 7 million forsidewalks, curbs and trafficimprovements to promote walking, biking and public transportation. The budget also includes fundsto move the Bridge Columbia project forwai·d. Funding is included for a NEPA study to evaluate the full range of environmental impacts of a new bridge and its alternatives. This study is the firststep to put the project on the path to being able to receive state and federal funding. While we must keep up with new development, we also have a responsibility to invest in our existing infrastructure,particularly in some of our older neighborhoods. The proposed CIP continues funding forflood mitigation projects in Historic Ellicott City, budgeting $2.8 million forthe study, design and construction of additional flood mitigation and stormwater effmts. The Glenwood Water and Waste Water Facility will receive $2.9 million in order to meet National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. In addition, we will continue routine maintenance and upgrades to aging water and sewer infrastructure across the County.
