Harford County to Develop Bicycle and Pedestrian

Master Plan

arford County Executive David R. Craig and the Department of Planning & Zoning have announced that the

County will be undertaking the development of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is an important part of helping to make Harford County a truly multimodal

community; one that promotes and supports increased bicycle and pedestrian activity. It is also an important step in

helping Harford County become a healthier community.

The development of the plan is anticipated to take about a year, and to help the department with this effort the County

Executive has appointed a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Group. The group consists of representatives from various

government agencies and departments as well as bicycle and pedestrian advocates.

he advisory group will meet periodically throughout 2012, and the public will be able to follow the process and

the work of the advisory group on the departments webpage at www.harfordcountymd.gov/planningzoning. This

website will also provide a direct link to the departments online networking site where citizens will be able to provide

their input. Public workshops will be conducted as part of the planning process.

For more information, please contact the Harford County Department of Planning and Zoning at 410-638-3103.
