The Local Roadway Safety Plan has come together in response to the initiative for Zero Deaths in Maryland and the increasing number of crashes that are occurring in Allegany County that result in serious injury or fatality. This project was funded by the Maryland State Highway Office of the Maryland Department of Transportation under a grant to Allegany and Garrett Counties. Having this plan in place is a requirement for future grant funding possibilities related to Highway Safety Improvement programs. The completed plan is posted and available for review. Comments are being received for the next 30 days, and any input will be taken into account by the review committee. This plan is a suggested guide and not law. Its findings are strictly a suggested best practice.
Consultant services were provided by Mead & Hunt, Inc., a national architecture, engineering, and construction management firm, under the project management of Jamie Kendrick, AICP, with assistance from Hunter A. Withers and James Poeschel.
