“As the County continues to grow and thrive, we have more motorists, pedestrians and cyclist sharing the roadways,” said Vice Chair Glaros. “We want to make sure that every resident is able to travel safely and I am extremely pleased that the State Highway Administration is presenting a plan to the community to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility along MD-410.
