The Howard County Department of Public Works is inviting the public to weigh in on a new traffic initiative to improve the flow and safety on the roads of North Laurel. Community members are encouraged to join the outreach meeting on October 22nd to discuss the transformation of the Gorman Road and Skylark Boulevard intersection into a single-lane roundabout.
Scheduled to take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Murray Hill Middle School in Laurel, the gathering seeks to address concerns and gather suggestions from residents. "This transportation project is an important priority for residents of our Emerson community and greater North Laurel area," said Executive Calvin Ball, targeting safety enhancements for all transit modes, including pedestrians and bicyclists. Announced via Howard County's official website, the project aims to kick off in the summer of 2025 and is estimated to be completed in nine months, weather permitting.
For those who cannot attend the meeting but wish to share their input or have questions, they are encouraged to reach out to the Project Manager, Ms. Caitlin Kovel, at 410-313-6142 or by email at [email protected]. Further inquiries about Capital Project J-4211 can also be directed to Public Works Customer Service at 410-313-3440 or [email protected].
