Bike lane is discontinuous on Greenbelt Rd between Edmonston Rd and Park Central Rd, making it difficult for a cyclist biking to Greenbelt National Park from Rhode Island Ave to ensure separation from car traffic or safety when sharing a lane with car traffic where the bike lane does not exist.

Bike lanes exist along University Blvd/MD-193 thru Adelphi Rd, however a number of businesses and NW Branch Trail access are between Adelphi Rd and Riggs Rd. With the Purple Line construction rearranging travel along this stretch, it would be nice to add bicycle-friendly signage or protected bike lane

Paint Branch Trail access is limited, especially with the current road and sidewalk closure of Metzerott Rd at Baltimore Avenue due to construction. Those in the Autoville neighborhood, particularly Monument Village Apt residents, would benefit from a Paint Branch Trail access point without having to walk along or cross Baltimore Ave.

Those in the Autoville neighborhood, particularly Monument Village Apt residents, would benefit from a Paint Branch Trail access point without having to walk along or cross Baltimore Ave. This route appears to be along public land maintained for power lines, and intersects with the Paint Branch Trail at its closest point to Baltimore Ave in this stretch.

These County Owned roads are low traffic generators and would be good candidates for improving geometry and designating as bikes and buggy trails for Amish using buggies. In addition the County allows folks to travel with atv's if they have a permit. I would like to develop this idea further for recreation and economic development.

This segment of roadway is designated as share the road but the level of comfort is very low. The State Park attracts mountain bikers but they must drive their bikes to the park. Improving this route would be beneficial to the active transportation opportunies and for DCL's economy.

North - South Connection for bike and ped in Oakland MD. Since 2006 Oakland has requested streetscape project to provide sidewalks on Oak St and Third Street. Due to the fact there are no longer streetscape funds and lack of buy in from landowners along US 219 the Town and Garrett County would like to find a safe route for pedestrians to travel north and south from Downtown to businesses in the north part of the Town.

This section of MD 135 is not bike or ped friendly but with better amenities could serve a transportation alternatives for the folks living in Oakland, Mountain Lake Park and Loch Lynn Heights. his section of roadway currently experiences excessive traffic speeds in excess of the posted 50 MPH speed limit, posing a significant safety risk to all users. The planning study will produce a concept plan that includes the re-utilization of the right-of-way, the creation of dedicated spaces for bicyclists and pedestrians, and the incorporation of a two-way left-turn lane(s) to enhance traffic flow. This plan will also provide safe and accessible routes to the schools, neighborhoods, and parks in this area, promoting active lifestyles and improving access to local amenities.

Oakland to Herrington Manor Trail Concept Plan: Garrett County in partnership with Garrett Trails and the Town of Oakland request funding for a Trail Concept Plan connecting the Town of Oakland to Herrington Manor State Park and Swallow Falls State Park. This proposed trail will be an essential link that provides safe and accessible transportation alternatives to connect residents and visitors to the recreational opportunities offered at Herrington Manor and Swallow Falls State Parks. Currently, there is no direct connection between Oakland and these State Parks; by creating a trail connecting the two, we can improve accessibility to the park for hikers, bikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. The proposed Trail Concept Plan will evaluate the best route for the trail, address potential obstacles, and provide recommendations on infrastructure, such as signage, parking, and amenities. This plan will provide a roadmap for the development of the trail, ensuring it meets the needs of the community while respecting the natural environment. A crucial component of the Trail Concept Plan development process will be public participation from residents, businesses, and other stakeholders for feedback on the proposed trail's alignment, design, and amenities. We believe that this proposed trail will provide significant benefits to the community, including promoting active lifestyles, enhancing economic development, and improving access to outdoor recreational opportunities
