Based on community feedback received during the public comment periods for the upcoming
Flash Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) extension, the County initiated a study to analyze traffic and safety along Maple Lawn Boulevard in Fulton. As the new transit service is expected to generate more pedestrian activity near the proposed stations north of East Market Place, a traffic calming evaluation of Maple Lawn Boulevard has been conducted to prioritize roadway safety near the proposed transit stations and along the proposed bus route. In addition, the study evaluated intersection alternatives at East Market Place to improve safety for all roadway users. The project will implement strategies available in the
County’s Design Manual,
Complete Streets policy, and updated
Howard County Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy to combat excessive vehicular speeds along the roadway.
Materials from the June 9, 2026 public meeting can be found
