This project provides for the design, land acquisition, and construction of a new 10-foot wide shared use path along the west side of Frederick Road (MD 355) between Stringtown Road and the existing shared use path near Milestone Manor Lane, a distance of approximately 2.5 miles. The entire project will replace about 0.9 miles of existing sidewalk segments in order to provide a continuous route serving two schools, two parks, and a church. The project includes streetlights and street trees.

Final design is currently underway. Utility relocations started in FY18 and will be completed in FY20. Construction started in FY19 and will be completed in FY21.

This project will provide the first shared use path connection between Clarksburg and north Germantown.

The project will help the County achieve its Vision Zero goals to reduce deaths and serious injuries on County Roadways to zero by 2030.

Funds for this project were originally programmed through Public Facilities Roads (CIP #507310).

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
