Study Project PurposeSelect a route and a conceptual design for a separated and dedicated shared use path to provide bike/pedestrian travel between the BWI Trail and the existing & planned Odenton Town Center master-planned trail system and the adjacent WB&A trail.


Project Goals & Benefits

• Build a comfortable and accessible trail connecting Odenton and the WB&A trail to the BWI trail that is buffered from any adjacent roadway.

4

Project Goal

• Providing walking/biking alternatives to work, school, recreation, and bus stops that are dedicated and separated from any adjacent roadway

• Promote health and increased physical activity• Provide alternative options to driving

• Environmental benefits• Lower car ownership costs

• Enhanced recreational options for residents and visitors

Analyzing Each Route

9

• Analyze the following impacts and needs for each route alignment option

• Public Feedback and Preference• Safety of path users crossing at-grade

roadways / intersections • Overall Cost to Construct

• Utility Relocation• Drainage / Structures

• Right of Way • Stormwater needs• Environmental• Ability to Connect to:

• Neighborhoods • Commercial/Recreational/Institutional

Amenities• Other Regional Existing/Planned trails


Next Steps and Project Phases
