    Our Vision

    MD 198: A safe place for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and businesses to commute, live, visit, and work.

     

    Mission

    Our mission is to promote near-term and long-term safety improvements on MD-198 through collaborative planning, network building, community action, and policy advocacy.

    This website is intended to inform local residents about the issues and provide some potential solutions, with the objective of engaging and empowering the community to develop and advocate for a locally-preferred alternative.

    We use a consensus-based approach to develop a consistent list of demands for improvements along MD 198.

    A CONSISTENT group message is CRITICAL to achieving our goal. If local individuals, businesses, and organizations cannot form a consensus, SHA and other decision-makers may decide to dismiss our concerns and implement their own plan, which may be contrary to the community's preferences.
