Harford Seeks Feedback on Plans for Bicycle, Pedestrian Connection

Harford County is seeking additional feedback from the public on plans for a bicycle and pedestrian connection between Harford Community College and the Town of Bel Air.

The Harford County Department of Planning & Zoning, under the administration of County Executive Barry Glassman, will hold a meeting for citizens to drop in anytime from 5 – 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 in the first-floor conference room at the county government building, 220 S. Main Street in Bel Air.

The meeting is a follow-up to an initial request for public input in June that garnered 137 responses in-person and online. Those responses have been evaluated by Whitman, Requardt and Associates, the consultants hired by county government with grant funding from the Kim Lamphier Bikeways Network Program of the Maryland Department of Transportation.

On Oct. 20, the consultants will share viable projects to improve conditions along potential routes for the connection. They will also present phasing schedules that may guide capital planning and the pursuit of future grant funding.

Anyone who is unable to attend on Oct. 20 can watch the video that will be posted after the meeting at
