June Piper offered to bake a cake for the first birthday of a sinkhole next to the path of the BWI Trail.
She reported to Watchdog last week that the original sides have caved in, so it has grown in size. But orange construction fencing keeps out the curious, David Buck, a spokesman for the State Highway Administration, wrote in an e-mail.
He added that the hole has no impact to traffic or pedestrians using the trail and multiple permits are necessary to fix the 150 to 200 feet of pipe that created the hole -- an extensive repair. Therefore, it hasn't been a high priority, particularly during the busy winter.
Buck said it would take several months to obtain the necessary permits but that the would keep Watchdog posted.
