In recent years, Owings Mills has grappled with managing the effects of new development and population growth. Snarled traffic has frustrated area residents, workers, and visitors. The State of Maryland has taken steps to address these concerns. These include the widening of roadways and increased bus service in the area. While the latter has faced opposition from some residents, lack of funding for both transit and roadway improvements have delayed these projects by a number of years. Construction of new urban projects in Owings Mills continues, including housing units, shopping, and office space.
