Howard County Bicycle Master Plan

      The Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning is developing a Howard County Bicycle Master Plan.  The plan will attempt to:

• Identify and develop countywide system of bicycle facilities to foster connectivity within and between the following: villages, communities and neighborhoods throughout the County, as well as neighboring cities and counties, parks and recreation centers, schools and educational institutions, commercial and employment centers, and regional and local transit facilities.
• Facilitate recreational and transportation trips by bicycle in the County and improve safety for all types of bicyclists.
• Recommend County policies that will support bicycling, including bikeway facility design.
• Build public support for implementation of the Plan.
