Nov. 2 Meeting Highlights Proposed Bike Lane Project Along Ten Oaks Road In Howard County

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — A special presentation will be held Nov. 2 to discuss a proposed multi-modal travel improvement project along Ten Oaks Road from Brighton Dam Road to MD 108.

Ten Oaks Road from Brighton Dam Road to MD 108 was identified in the MD 32 Alternate Bike Route Study as a “pinch point” segment that presents challenges to cyclists sharing the roadway with vehicles. The Maryland State Highway Administration completed the study in 2019 to identify a viable and safe alternate bicycle route to MD 32, which permanently removed bicycle access from MD 108 to I-70.

The informational open house Nov. 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. will offer residents the opportunity to view two design ideas to separate bicycle traffic and vehicular traffic along Ten Oaks Road from Brighton Dam Road to MD 108. Following the open house, one design idea will be chosen to move on to final design, which is expected to be completed by fall 2024. Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2025.

The meeting will be held in the media room at River Hill High School in Clarksville.
