I made a forum post this morning.  After I clicked “submit” it took almost a minute for the posting to display.

However while waiting for the display, after about 3 seconds I opened a new BBC window and found the post was already up.  Yet the initial forum window still showed working for another 45+ seconds.

I can easily see how a user would be tempted to click submit a second or third time while waiting for the forum window to update.

Is the slow forum response a SystemSource hosting issue?   It seems that the actual post occurs immediately.

It appears so.  Since we started using secure communications with the server response time seems to be up with the added load.

Gorsuch Mill Road Closure
After receiving public input this fall, Baltimore County has decided not to replace Bridge Number B-0071, the Gorsuch Mill Road Bridge over Blackrock Run. The portion of Gorsuch Mill Road between the bridge and Falls Road will be removed and the end of Gorsuch Mill Road on the Mount Carmel Road side of the bridge crossing will be modified accordingly. Appropriate signs will also be installed at the Mount Carmel Road intersection indicating Gorsuch Mill Road is not a through road.

I have reformatted cuesheet as a proper .xls file.
Should view fine now.

We have received significant rain this year and so many roads stay wet with runoff.  Now that it is below freezing at night, much of this runoff is icy.  Especially in the morning or on shaded sections.

Special concern from my riding are (click for map link):
* Dover Rd south of Tufton (behind 'Ripken's');
* Piney Grove Rd just north of the church at Butler;
* Belmont Ave northbound descent towards bridge  Some Salting done here;
* Knox Rd climb to Gent;
* Gunpowder Rd "S" bend before Beckleysville;
* Butler Rd WB climb before descent to Dover
* Park Heights SB climb before Walnut  Some Salting done here.

The Cape Horn Road bridge replacement project includes replacing the existing bridge with a new single cell concrete box culvert. The structure crosses over an unnamed stream in eastern Carroll County, near the Harvey Gummel Road intersection. The new bridge will be designed to handle all the current legal vehicles (e.g. BICYCLES).
