ELLICOTT CITY, MD – The Howard County Department of Public Works’ (DPW) Bureau of Highways’ Traffic Engineering Division will hold a second community outreach meeting on Tuesday, May 20th from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Long Reach High School, to present its final traffic calming plans for Columbia’s Phelps Luck Drive and High Tor Hill. The project will implement strategies available in the County’s recently updated Howard County Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy, to combat excessive vehicular speeds along these two roadways.
“Neighborhood traffic calming is an important part of our efforts to ensure greater safety and accessibility on residential roadways across our community,” said Howard County Executive Calvin Ball. “This past year, we released our new Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy and invested an additional $500,000 for its implementation. Through these efforts, we are committed to working with our community members to reduce speeding and promote transportation safety across our great county.”
While there will be no formal presentation, DPW staff will be on hand to discuss the updated traffic calming design and construction work for the two roadways, as well as answer questions and gather public comments.
Those unable to attend the meeting or who would like to view the plans and/or have questions, should contact Natasha Aidoo with DPW at 410-313-2430 or email naidoo@howardcountymd.gov.
