		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy wants a new Interstate 95 interchange to serve new businesses coming to the Principio business park and has reinstated commuter rail expansion in Cecil County as top priorities, in contrast to a puzzling push last year by former county executive Tari Moore to make a bus garage and pie-in-the-sky rail station in North East her top priority for state transportation aid to the county. McCarthy outlined his transportation priorities in a letter to State Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn that was submitted to the County Council on Tuesday (3/21/2017), as part of an annual process to set county priorities. Members of the Council generally welcomed McCarthy’s new priorities. A new interchange on Interstate 95, at Belvedere Road, would serve the Principio Business Park, where several major new warehousing operations are under construction, including an Amazon “fulfillment center” expected to create 700 jobs and a “distribution center” for Lidl, a German grocery operation that is entering US markets for the first time. Now, I-95 traffic to Principio would access the site from exits in Perryville or North East, then travel along Route 40. A more direct interchange route would speed up access to the warehouses while [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County registered record numbers of traffic fatalities last year—and pedestrian death rates were the worst in Maryland—but the county administration recently shifted transportation project priorities away from road safety improvements, especially along Route 40 where many fatalities have occurred. Gerry Widdoes, the Chief Deputy for the Cecil County Sheriff’s Department, recently advised the County Council of traffic fatalities data compiled by the agency for 2015, showing 16 traffic fatalities on local roads, up from 14 in 2014. In an interview with Cecil Times, Widdoes, the second-ranking law enforcement official in the department, said that four pedestrian deaths were recorded, resulting in a population-adjusted death rate that was the highest in the state of Maryland. The overall traffic fatalities rate was the 8th worst in the state, on a population-adjusted basis. Cecil County’s traffic fatalities rate was twice the state average, according to Widdoes. “It’s one of the saddest statistics,” he observed. Many of the incidents occurred in areas with no sidewalks or road shoulders for pedestrians to use and some of the victims were homeless or transient people. Overall, 3 of the total traffic fatalities involved victims who were “alcohol-impaired.” Concerns over rising traffic fatalities and car [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Members of the Cecil County Council, who raised questions during this year’s budget deliberations about a nearly $20 million new library and administrative offices for the county’s public library system in North East, were briefed this week on the project, which could also set up a potential clash with the town over the fate of the old library building. The county library system recently won a major national award for its services and library supporters have been vocal in county budget hearings to endorse the system’s budget proposals. So far, the Council has supported funds for land acquisition and initial planning for the North East facility but several councilors have expressed reservations about the added-on costs of moving administrative offices from Elkton to designated space at the new North East library. “I think we can all agree” the county needs a new library in North East, Council President Robert Hodge (R-5) said at a council worksession attended by library officials on Tuesday. “But the question is how much can we afford.” Hodge noted that the new library was “competing” with other major projects and services, such as road paving, law enforcement and the county schools. “We have to allocate our [&#8230;]]]></description>
