Sidewalk Update
The County has finished its study of a prospective path along MD424 that would extend the existing sidewalk across MD450 to Bell Branch Park. Three alternatives were considered, along with lots of community input. The study recommends a 10’ wide dual-use (pedestrian and cyclist) path with a tree buffer between the path and the road for much of the length.
