ELLICOTT CITY, MD – The Howard County Department of Public Works (DPW) will hold a community outreach meeting on Wednesday, September 25th at 5:00 p.m., in the cafeteria at the Elkridge Landing Middle School, to discuss plans to install a new sidewalk along Roosevelt Boulevard (Capital Projects K-5036) and improve the MD 103/US 1 intersection (Capital Project J-4212) in Elkridge.
As your Howard County Executive, we have made record investments in transportation safety projects and Complete Streets in every corner of Howard County, including our Elkridge community. My Fiscal Year 2025 Capital Budget included $14.7 million in County funding for sidewalks, bike lanes, pathways and other Complete Streets infrastructure that makes projects like this possible. I encourage residents to attend this meeting to learn more about upcoming projects to enhance our transportation network for all.
The proposed Capital Project K-5036 will include the installation of a new sidewalk along southbound Roosevelt Boulevard from Business Parkway to Cemetery Road, as well as new curb, gutter and ADA ramps at the street crossings. The project is expected to begin in fall 2024 and weather permitting, is expected to be completed by end of December 2024.
The proposed Capital Project J-4212 will improve the intersection of US 1 and MD 103/Meadowridge Road and Dorsey Road. This project will provide additional turn lanes, new sidewalk, bike lane, storm drain and stormwater management facilities. The project is scheduled to begin in summer 2025 and weather permitting, is expected to be completed by fall 2026.
While there will be no formal presentation, County staff will be present to explain the proposed work, answer any questions and gather public comments.
An interpreter for people who are deaf or hard of hearing will be available if requested seven working days prior to the meeting. Please call DPW at 410-313-3440 (voice) or use Relay at 7-1-1, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
