SUMMARY
The previous plans and studies for the Edgewood area included many recommendations. Below and to the right is a summary of the most relevant information and recommendations related to this Edgewood Area TOD Study. PULASKI HWY. (US 40)
The recommendations are noted by source: Harford Next (HNEXT), the Edgewood Small Area Plan (SAP) and the APG Joint-Land Use Study (JLUS).
Washington Court and Lee Court are recommended 1 as a development opportunity. The SAP recommends development of the Lee Court Property as a County Park. The SAP and HNEXT recommend Washington Court as a mixed-use development. PULASKI HWY. (US 40)
HNEXT and the SAP both recommend development of a 2 TOD surrounding the existing MARC Train Station. The SAP recommends including an event space adjacent to the station.
The SAP recommends connecting Nuttal Avenue 3 VJTQWIJ VQ /& YKVJ C OKZGFWUG FGXGNQROGPV opportunity at that intersection.
The SAP recommends connecting Railroad Avenue to 4 old Edgewood Road. 1

This creates a lack of connectivity for vehicles and is disorienting for drivers (especially for those who are not familiar with the area). PULASKI HWY. (US 40) Pedestrian and cyclists are affected even more so by the lack of connectivity, more keenly aware of the increased length of travel. Further, a lack of continuous street connections often means a lack of sidewalks; therefore, pedestrians have created informal paths between properties to get to their destinations. PULASKI HWY.

A variety of residential housing options should be offered, both to create a vibrant neighborhood, but also to serve multiple populations, including seniors, empty nesters, families, and young professionals. Additionally or alternatively, the site could accommodate community programming with alternative uses such as entertainment, sports tourism, or concert venues. Given the past residential use, the parcel offers the opportunity to utilize the existing site infrastructure, including utilities and streets where possible (although the underground utilities may be nonviable). Additionally, mature, contributing trees should be maintained where possible. A new street connection to Willoughby Beach Road will help to provide north-south access which is currently lacking in this area.
