This project provides for the design and construction of a roadway extension of North High Street to Morningwood Drive in Olney. The project also provides a continuous 6-foot sidewalk on the south side of North High Street and ADA-compliant pedestrian access from Morningwood Drive.

Design, land acquisition, and utility relocation will begin in FY23. The construction will begin in FY24.

The purpose of the project is to improve safety and enhance connectivity within the Olney town center vicinity. This project is supported by the Greater Olney Civic Association and will provide vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle access to North High Street from Morningwood Drive instead of Georgia Avenue. This project also supports the County Executive's Vision Zero initiative which aims to reduce injuries and fatalities on all roads.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
