The Anne Arundel County Office of Planning and Zonings Transportation Division will hold a final public meeting to discuss updates to the Countys Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Broadneck Senior High School, 1265 Green Holly Drive, Annapolis.
This plan focuses primarily on pedestrian and bicycle utilitarian trips, such as to work, school or shopping (i.e. every day transportation) that can take the place of car trips either by choice or by necessity, as opposed to purely recreational trips that are 100% discretionary. In addition, it only covers higher density areas of the county where these kinds of trips are likely to be taken by the average person. This is defined as the parts of the county covered by water and sewer service.

Let’s show our support for Anne Arundel bicycling with our turnout and constructive input. Hoping to see you Tuesday night!

Speakers will include Mr. Mohamed Dumbuya and Ms. Jocelyn Jones from the Federal Highway Administration, members of the EJ Partnership, The Opportunity Collaborative, and other co-sponsoring agencies.
