Sonic, America's Drive-In Coming to Timonium?

There is a proposal on the table to bring the fast food restaurant to York Road, although a zoning hurdle must first be cleared.

There is a proposal on the table to bring Sonic, America's Drive-In, to York Road in Lutherville-Timonium.  Community leaders are planning to meet with the franchisee to address concerns over possible traffic issues. Community association representatives pointed to the popularity of the fast food chain's Rosedale location on Pulaski Highway.  UPDATED (by popular demand)—The address of the property is 2027 York Road, in Lutherville-Timonium. "The last thing York Road needs is a line of three or four cars waiting to get in,” Eric Rockel, president of the Greater Timonium Community Council, said.  Sonic locations are famous for reinvigorating the classic American drive-in design. Some locations, however, do feature indoor seating.  The drive-…

I think Sonic would be a decent addition to Timonium, I just think that this location is not ideal. I don't think it is a biggest enough lot to handle the size of the establishment. Also, most days, this part of York road is already at capacity. It would cause a lot of traffic problems in a already/always being worked on road. I would love to see something done with this space; a little ma and pa…   more ›

Mr. Rockel Just cross Padonia Road into the wilds of Mays Chapel Village, and the homes all along Jennifer Road and up Falls Road to Gent whose children are currently bused to Pinewood...or Lutherville. I bet they would love to see their children attend a brand new school at Mays Chapel. Open your eyes and your heart...It is not so difficult to see how boundaries could be shifted slightly to the …   more ›

Lutherville-Timonium Reacts to “No Changes” to School Board Recommendation

Greater Timonium Community Council president Eric Rockel says the task force’s decision is “disappointing.”

A least one influential Lutherville-Timonium resident is dissatisfied today, following an announcement yesterday from the task force in charge of reviewing how members are appointed to the Board County School Board. The task force ultimately decided that it will issue no recommendations for changes to the current system already in place. Currently, the governor appoints the 12-member body. The announcement didn’t sit well with Greater Timonium Community Council president Eric Rocket who said, “that’s very disappointing news.” “I wonder if the task force really heard the citizens because there was a significant number of citizens that want either an all-elected or hybrid board,” he continued. Rockel attended task force and school board …
