MTA Makes Improvements to Bus Stop at Giant

Thank the people who had this stop moved off of N Rolling where it started to look like a city street with all the garbage even though there were trashcans and it stopped the carts from running lose on Rolling Rd.

It doesn't matter what you try people without respect for others' property will "trash" it!!

Thanks go to State Delegate Jimmy Malone for his efforts to have MTA enlarge this public transportation shelter that is used by many people who depend on public transportation to work and shop. Thanks also goes to County Councilman Tom Quirk and Walmart Corp. It is Walmart, the owner of the parking lot that made this space available (off Rolling Rd) for the bus stop, added the shopping cart corral, and cleans up the trash!! Tom Quirk has asked for assistance from the Catonsville Tree Canopy Project, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Catonsville, to help design and install additional landscape planting adjacent to the new bus shelter. Again, Walmart is coming to the table with donated plants for this effort. Windriver and Chief ..... I hope that you will join me and other community volunteers to plant these trees and bushes later this autumn. To help, sign up through this PATCH site.

Thanks for the info Jim! I'll be sure to write another article once Walmart planting starts.

I happened to be up at the Giant yesterday & it looks like the folks that use the bus stop are a little slow on the uptake. There were at least 20 to 25 carts laying all over the place & trash everywhere. It seems that no matter what MTA & the County do, some people are just slobs.

This bus stop is a problem. The carts are not cleaned up regularly and there is trash everywhere. I've complained to Walmart and Giant, and they will continue to receive complaints until the issue is remedied.
