BRTB BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY GROUP September 7, 2011 Minutes Highlights

* Mr. Dan Reagle of the Maryland Transit Administration said that MTA applied for a grant from the Federal Transit Administration to construct a 700 foot path connecting the Lutherville Light Rail station to the neighborhood

[B' Spokes: This could make for a bike route in the area as topography and lollipop development makes getting through there a bit challenging by bike.]


* By a vote of 6-1-1, Ms. Jessica Keller was selected as the committee’s choice to nominate to the BRTB as the new citizen-pedestrian representative.

[B' Spokes: very cool, someone who I know and this position has been filled.]


* Ralph Wheeler noted that Baltimore County had submitted only projects on county-owned roads, while other jurisdictions had submitted requests for state roads. It was noted that instructions for submitting bicycle and pedestrian projects should be clarified for future long range plans.

[B' Spokes: Indeed, better communication and planning between State, county and Metro Planning Organization for bicycle and pedestrian access is needed.]
