Frederick Road McDonald's Plans Expansion
The restaurant's owner attended a Design Review Panel meeting last week.
Plans are moving ahead for an expansion of the Frederick Road McDonald's.
The Catonsville Times reports franchise owner Jim Bower plans to renovate the restaurant to add 25 seats, a faster drive-through and an exit from the parking lot to Delrey Avenue.
Bower discussed the plans at a Design Review Panel hearing in Towson on Wednesday, the newspaper reports. Bower told the paper he plans to meet with the Paradise Community Association next month, and begin construction once the project receives permits.

The new drive-through will include a second menu and ordering stand, and a third window, where customers can pull up to wait if their food is not yet ready.
"At our drive-through right now, you have one spot where you give your order and you move along," Bower told the paper. "These plans actually allow us to have a second spot."

According to the Times, the design panel only recommended that new store-front seating be enclosed behind a wall, and that designers add extra separation from Frederick Road.
