The proposed trail extension will be located near downtown Laurel and the Laurel MARC Rail Station and will link several existing trails within City of Laurel, Prince George’s County, Anne Arundel County and Howard County as indicated in their respective Master Plans. The development of the trail extension will provide a significant recreational and commuter benefit for the region. The project incorporates Master Plans from the City of Laurel, Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Maryland Department of Transportation, Anne Arundel County, Howard County, along with a complete site analysis and photo log. These documents will help guide both the City of Laurel and the adjacent Counties, should the City of Laurel choose to move forward with the construction of this new trail extension. - Conceptual Sketches with Trail Options - Existing Conditions Assessment - Preferred Trail alignment Assessment The Laurel Pedestrian Trail/ Pathway Feasibility study analyzed the trail locations for the potential development of a pedestrian/ bicycle and equestrian trail along the Patuxent River within the City of Laurel limits. After careful considerations, we offer three (3) possible trail alignment options for the City of Laurel to consider. Option 1 - Connecting to the existing terminus point of Riverfront Park, and extending the proposed trail along the western shoreline, as the trail approaches the existing Second Avenue Bridge (US Route 1) with the aid of a new pedestrian bridge, the trail will cross over the river onto the eastern shoreline (Anne Arundel County) into Laurel Park. The trail will continue south along the existing paved Laurel Park access road, under the existing MARC/CSX railway bridge to a point opposite the American Legion. With the aid of a second pedestrian bridge, the trail will cross over the river back over the river to the western shoreline. There, the trail will continue south until it reaches its terminus at the Laurel Shopping Center parking lot. Option 2 - Connecting to the existing terminus point of Riverfront Park, and extending the proposed trail traveling in its entirety, along the western shoreline of the Patuxent River until it reaches it terminus at the Laurel Shopping Center parking lot. This option allows for several additional access points along existing sidewalk location at Washington Boulevard, Second Street and First Street. This option will also utilizes several pedestrian worn-paths at the Washington Boulevard Bridge. This trail alignment will also provide access to the proposed trail from a new access point located at the American Legion Option 3 - Connecting to the existing terminus point of Riverfront Park, and extending the proposed trail in its entirety, along the western shoreline of the Patuxent River until it reaches it terminus at the Laurel Shopping Center parking lot. This trail alignment will also provide access to the McLaren Technical Services, Inc. Project Name Laurel Pedestrian Trail/Pathway Feasibility Study Page 4 McLaren File No. 106155 December 18, 2017 proposed trail from a new access point located at the American Legion. This route incorporates along existing streets/roads. Given the three (3) options can all be constructed in their respective locations, each option has several opportunities and constraints. Each trail option analysis will provide a detailed breakdown of all opportunities and constraints for the respective alignments. The proposed trail alignments should be constructed to meet local, City, State and Federal regulations; similar to any construction project, permitting will be required prior to the commencement of construction. In-depth analyses of existing conditions, environmental constraints and topographical constraints will be addressed prior and during design development ensure that design and construction of the preferred trial alignment will enhance the user’s experience and ensure their safety. Trail projects throughout the Counties have shown to have many benefits to the local region. These benefits include: • Improved community physical and mental health • Improved water and air quality • Increased property values • Improved community/City image • Improved pedestrians and bicyclist safety • Improved sustainability • Enhanced neighboring awareness • Improved quality of life • Accelerates community revitalization • Increase environmental awareness. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City of Laurel proceed with the design and construction of the Trail Extension using the Option 1 with the use of existing land that is relative level and currently owned by the American Legion. This will provide expansion of the both the City of Laurel trail network, as well as Prince George’s County’s recreational trail system. Option 2 is less unlikely due to the increase construction difficulties and cost, associated with the construction of a trail that requires a “cantilevered” support system for several hundred feet. Option 3 is not likely due to the existing at grade street/road crossings at US Route 1 – northbound and southbound lanes. McLaren Technical Services, Inc. Project Name Laurel Pedestrian Trail/Pathway Feasibility Study Page 5 McLaren File No. 106155 December 18, 2017 Project Purpose and Goals The Laurel Pedestrian Trail/ Pathway Feasibility Study aims to recommend a preferred route that will connect the existing Riverfront Park to MD Route 198 with a non-motorized trail. The Study will identify several trail alignment options for the proposed trail connection from Riverfront Park to MD Route 198. This trail will increase the recreation opportunities that residents and others currently limited to Riverfront Park trail. The proposed connection will create a continuous trail linking existing and planned trails outlined in the City’s vision, as well as, in the Prince George’s County Masterplan. The Pedestrian Trail - Pathway Feasibility Study emphasizes the importance of the need for a non- motorized extension and connection along the Patuxent River. This Feasibility Study will: 1) analyzes constraints and opportunities of the site; 2) further develop the City’s plans, the Prince George’s County Trail Master Plan, as well as Anne Arundel County’s and Howard County’s Master Plans; 3) improves recreation and transportation options for pedestrians, cyclists and others; 4) Identify sections of neglected shoreline within this section of the Patuxent River. With several existing trails segments throughout the City, this project will be the catalyst for connecting a system to trails throughout the City of Laurel. Existing trails within the project area include, but are not limited to, the Riverfront Park trail, High Ridge Park trail, Laurel Park trail/access road and T. Howard Duckett Dam Trail. The most common trail users to be expected on this proposed trail extension will be pedestrians and cyclists. The trail will provide a wide range of short distance utilitarian trips, including traveling to and from the Laurel MARC Rail Station; to and from residential and/or other commercial areas. The proposed trail will provide a one (1) mile trail extension from the current terminus at Riverfront Park trail to MD Route 198 for cycling and pedestrians. The trail proposed should have a 10-foot wide asphalt shared use path from the existing Riverfront Park trail terminus. The Study will emphasize the importance of improving access for non-motorized users along this stretch of Patuxent River and offer the following: 1) Plans, alternative alignments and concept designs for the one (1) mile section of the Patuxent River; 2)

As a Howard County resident who lives and drives this area daily, I do not want Howard County to help fund a railroad station and two parking garages and other infrastructure for the ill-conceived development which will bring 1000 residential units and about 800,000 sq. ft of commercial and office space to Route 1 at the Howard entrance to the Laurel Race track.

  • Second Five-Year Review Report, Tipton Airfield Parcel Report Dated April 2011
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION III 1650 Arch Street . Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2029 September 23,2011 Markus Craig Program Manager Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management; BRAC Division NC3 - Taylor Bldg 5064A 2530 Crystal Drive Arlington, VA 22202 Subject: Final 5-Year Review Report for Tipton Airfield Parcel. Mr. Craig: Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject document. The five-year review process involved reviewing the protectiveness of the Tipton Airfield Parcel. The Army prepared this report to address the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 12l(c) five-year review requirements. EPA has reviewed this five-year review report and found it to be consistent with EPA's June, 2001 guidance document, Comprehensive Five Year Review Guidance (OSWER No. 9355.7-03B-P, EPA 540-R-Ol-007). EPA does concur that the Tipton Airfield Parcel is protective in the short-term. However, EP A has made a determination that the long-term protectiveness of the Tipton Airfield Parcel must be deferred until the Land Use Controls are formally captured within a CERCLA decision document. EPA and the Army are currently in the process of finalizing an ESD that will address a) the need for sweeps of ordnance; b) appropriate disposal of ordnance if discovered; and c) land use control requirements. A Land Use Control Remedial Design should be submitted following the ESD which discusses the specifics of the Land Use Controls (i.e. what actions are limited and the extent of their limitation). Furthermore, as part of this five-year review, EPA has evaluated the basewide Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures for this site and has determined their status is as follows: Environmental Indicators 1.
