Transportation PlanQAC 2021 DRAFT 2021-03-10 Page 6-1 DRAFT 2021-03-10 The ability for the County to provide a safe, efficient, and equitable transportation system is important to maintaining a high quality of life, providing for economic expansion as well as maintaining acceptable levels of community sustainability. The various development patterns, preservation goals, and economic development strategies identified in CHAPTER 4—LAND USE and CHAPTER 8—ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & TOURISM, along with the programs and services described in this chapter will shape the County’s transportation policies. Specific design of the transportation system will consider land use patterns, economic development needs, and traffic demands to adequately provide and maintain intra-county and regional connections.

The concepts that support community sustainability are based on: ▪ Strengthening linkages and coordination between land use and transportation planning ▪ Transportation investments supporting economic development by providing better access to employment and commercial centers ▪ Managing infrastructure investments to ensure they can meet the intended need ▪ Targeting investments for enhanced transit access, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility, equity, and enhancing Towns and County Planning Areas ▪ Preserving natural resource and rural agricultural lands as responsible stewards LAND USE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Transportation plays a key role in achieving land use Transportation decisions can directly impact factors goals to establish sustainable patterns of such as the value of land and land accessibility development by providing accessibility.

  • Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21
    Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21 On January 21, 2021, more than 60 legislators attended the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s virtual legislative reception. They were invited to share some of their favorite outdoor spots in their districts and throughout Maryland. Their contributions were so wonderful that we were asked to compile them and send them to attendees. As Senate President Bill Ferguson said, “Our parks are those spaces that bring Marylanders together to get that fundamental belief in love of family, of friends, of each other.” “Our 6,400 parks and green spaces are a great way to boost your mental and overall health” added House Speaker Adrienne Jones.” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeanne Haddaway-Riccio reminded us all how diverse Maryland is, and we see this in the list of favorite spots below. Below is YOUR list! The sites on the list below are not exhaustive, but were those suggested by legislators and guests present that evening as places they visit to get outdoors and feel refreshed and recharged. The entries include a word or two about the site, at times thoughts from your colleagues, the name of the legislator suggesting the site, and a website for more information. You can visit by yourself or call up your colleagues and ask for a personal tour! Anne Arundel County B&A Trail, great for walking, biking, rollerblading, and more, stretches from Boulters Way in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station (ca. 1889) is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises.

  • The Bay Bridge Metonymy: How Maryland Newspapers Interpreted the Opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
    American Journalism, 25:2, 57-83 Copyright © 2008, American Journalism Historians Association The Bay Bridge Metonymy: How Maryland Newspapers Interpreted the Opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge By David W. Guth Using metonymy as a means of analysis, this paper measures the different editorial approaches Maryland-area newspapers had to the opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1952. The bridge opened travel routes to a historically isolated section of the state. Newspapers on both sides of the bay saw the bridge as a metonym for man’s supremacy over nature. To a lesser degree, they also viewed it as triumph of capitalism. Western Shore newspapers widely saw the bridge as a metonym for statewide unity. Eastern Shore news- papers viewed it more as a metonym for unwelcome change and the achievement of regional equality. The bridge also became a met- onym of redemption for former Governor William Preston Lane, Jr., who had championed the bridge and other road improvements—as well as budget and tax increases to pay for them—at the cost of his political career. n the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the Chesa- peake Bay Bridge in 2002, a Baltimore Sun editorial Osaid, “In a way its creators never could have anticipat- ed, the 4.3-mile double span has struck a deep emotional chord in most who live in the region.” David W.

Lynch 1648 Homewood Road Annapolis 21409 No Broadneck Council Resolution 32-21 Support The Broadneck Council was formed in 2007 with the intent of working to improve the Bay Bridge traffic problems that crush the Broadneck Peninsula on all summer weekends, now of Communities, Inc. extended from Thursday through Sunday for E/B travelers. There has been an improvement to the movement of vehicles over the Bridge since all electronic tolling was completed but the volume of traffic exceeds the capacity of the Bay Bridges. The recommendation to add another-"3rd Bridge" to our Broadneck Peninsula would destroy part of the watershed in order to locate the approach roads. We would lose either Sandy Point State Park or the communities located on the South side of the Rte #50/301 corridor. There is a 100 mile land mass bordering the Chesapeake Bay where another span must be built for residents located south/north of the Bay. We must not draw more traffic to central AA County by providing 2-3 spans for the Bay Crossing on one central location that ruptures our Peninsula and drives huge traffic volumes through the Annapolis/Broadneck corridor. Please help save the Broadneck and vote in favor of Councilwoman Fiedler's Resolution #32-21. --Pat Lynch, President of the Broadneck Council. Bradley Duane Knopf 1018 Magothy Park Ln Annapolis 21409 Yes Resolution 32-21 Support An inadequately informed decision to move ahead with compounding the congestion in the current bridge corridor will magnify the real damage to local quality of life.
