Howard Community College Connector
About the Project
This project will create a north-south connection, via a combination of a 
new shared-use path, paving, and sharrows, between Hickory Ridge Road and Little Patuxent Parkway via Howard Community College. It will also include a new pedestrian crossing of Hickory Ridge Road with rapid flashing beacons and a refuge island. This connection is identified by both BikeHoward and Howard Community College’s Facilities Master Plan, and will not only improve bicycle and pedestrian access to the College but also link with existing pathways to create a new bicycle and pedestrian route between Hickory Ridge and the new Downtown Columbia Trail.
Status
Construction is underway as of May 2019, and is expected to be complete during the summer of 2019.
Location
Howard Community College, between Hickory Ridge Road and Little Patuxent Parkway in Columbia. The project’s route is shown in red below; for a larger version of the map, click here.
