Route 1 Master Plan public comment

       Anyone who has traveled along Route 1 from North Laurel to Elkridge knows how much the area has changed from when it was a 2 lane road with Mom and Pop stores and trailer parks.  Now, much of the residential development in Howard County is occurring along the roadway.  A Master Plan is being developed by the County and they are inviting the public to comment on the plan.
