In 2018, Harford County engaged with the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture Capstone Studio at the University of Maryland to develop a more comprehensive plan that would include an overall strategy and suite of best practices to guide the development, implementation and expansion of the County’s bicycle network. During the studio’s first phase, students reviewed the existing plan, supporting materials, precedents of bicycle trails and Complete Streets policies, and met with planning officials to evaluate information gaps and missing links and to provide recommendwations for developing links. Working in design teams, students addressed the priority connections between the County and the Town of Bel Air. The teams also identified potential connections to or expansions of the green infrastructure network and opportunities for recreational tourism. During the studio’s second phase, students undertook a more detailed analysis of the Town of Bel Air’s 2013 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan to advance the proposed segments that connect to the County’s Plan. County-identified priorities include Macphail Road, MD Route 24, and the connection between downtown Bel Air and Harford Community College. The teams field verified the concepts for proposed routes. Standards for trail designs and markers were developed and marker locations were identified.

These rural areas, about two-thirds of the County, include federally and locally owned parks, agricultural land, and forest stands. Development is located to the south, near the Chesapeake Bay, in the communities of Bel Air, Havre de Grace, and Aberdeen, as well as Aberdeen Proving Grounds. These towns and their outskirts are primarily residential, with pockets of industrial and commercial land. Aberdeen Proving Grounds, on the County’s southernmost peninsula, is a military testing facility. Harford County’s park system offers many opportunities to establish a network of trail connections to future development.

Making drivers aware of bikers is important to their BOX safety. At this intersection, conventional bike lanes with bike boxes at the front of the lanes will allow cyclists to be visible and provide plenty of space between the cyclists and vehicles. This intersection is also where Rock Spring Road crosses the East-Coast Greenway, which connects the proposed bike trail and improves the Harford County bike system. East Coast Greenway ROUTE 23 BIKE BOXES Bike boxes improve cyclist safety at intersections. As seen in this plan, bike boxes are designated areas in front of driving lanes where cyclists can wait at stop lights. They are safe places, buffered from vehicles, which also allow cyclists to travel between lanes. Bike boxes are typically 10-16 feet long and as wide as the bike and vehicle lane(s). They must be marked and clearly identified. The adjacent bike lanes are also marked for 25-50 feet behind the bike box and must be highlighted through the intersection. Signage should include a “no turn on red” sign at the stoplight, a “yield to bikes” sign for vehicles, and a “stop on red” sign next to the bike lane. Pavement around and inside the bike box should be clearly marked.

Currently the area is forested and undeveloped; the proposed trail will follow the path of a stream with a four-foot buffer on either side of the trail. The route will offer natural views and connect surrounding neighborhoods with school and the Town of Bel Air. This trail can help reduce the amount of vehicle trips and promote safe and sustainable transportation.

Bollards along the sides of the bike lane will be a visible and create a safe area for cyclists traveling in this high-traffic corridor. This trail is intended for more experienced cyclists biking at higher speeds under high-stress conditions. It is a more direct route than the other proposed routes. Those who are looking for a more leisurely route can take safer trails while those who bike for their primary mode of transportation can use this pathway.

They allow cyclists to enter a designated area at the front of a driving lane located at stoplights. This allows vehicles to see the bikes at an intersection and gives cyclists a head start when the lights change. As shown in the perspective, this bike box will allow cyclists to merge from the two-way buffered bikeway into a conventional bike lane.

The route begins in a residential area, at the intersection of Lee Way and North Hickory Avenue. This residential section is characterized by its slower speed limit, increased number of sidewalks, and fewer road lanes. Although there are no dedicated bike lanes, the roads are slow and small enough that most cyclists should feel comfortable biking on Harford Day School them. Pedestrian access becomes possible as the southbound lane has an accompanying sidewalk 30 that stretches the length of the residential section. MPH Upon reaching the intersection of Moores Mill 40 MPH Road and North Hickory Avenue, a change in land E use is apparent. The transition to rural residential lands is marked by a change in the road name, Conowingo Road from North Hickory Avenue, to Conowingo Road. D B This intersection also happens to mark the start of A North Hickory Avenue the East West Green way, a bike trail which runs C along the East Coast. There is also an increase in speed limit, going from 30 mph, to 40 mph. This stretch of road is primarily two lanes, with wide shoulders and little to no pedestrian access. Goddard School Due to the lack of sidewalks, pedestrians are forced to walk along the shoulders. This condition continues until the intersection of Overlook Way and Conowingo Road. This intersection marks the East Coast Greenway Land Use start of the commercial area.

A combination of sharrows, buffered bike lanes, and conventional bike lanes are recommended. Also, a proposed sidewalk system will allow for safe pedestrian travel from the residential neighborhood to the commercial district. In addition, North Hickory Avenue will be converted into a two-way sharrow, to allow for safe cyclist access. Appropriate signage is recommended along Harford Day School the road to alert drivers to the changes and to promote cyclist safety. The proposed facilities in this rural area are a combination of sharrows and 30 40 MPH buffered bike lanes, depending on the presence of MPH North Hickory Avenue shoulders. These rural area routes will connect the East Coast Greenway with additional signage.

There are no bicycle lanes on either side, and the sidewalk along the northbound side is attached to a median used as a slip lane for drivers merging from Hickory Bypass onto Conowingo Road. The slip lane poses complications for pedestrians; it is an abrupt merge for cars into the northbound lane, and the slip lane’s angle creates a blind spot. The proposed road reduces the lane width to 11 feet and reduces the sidewalks to six feet to create space for an additional 11-foot northbound lane to give drivers a smoother transition onto Conowingo Road.

There are no sidewalks to help pedestrians transition through the large intersection and the median buffer is designed to control traffic rather than with pedestrian needs in mind. Our proposed road transforms the 10’ eastbound shoulder into a 10’ sidewalk and adds trees and vegetation to the 17’ median buffer to mitigate traffic and speed and provide a safer waiting area for pedestrians as they cross the intersection.

Appropriate signage at this location ensures that drivers will be looking out for cyclists and pedestrians.

Macphail & Emmorton Road Proposed Trail Connection on West Macphail Road West Macphail Road stops at a wooded area, turns north and continues as South Atwood Road. It picks up after about 700 feet, and after crossing South Main Street, becomes East Macphail Road. Currently, bikers need to go around this area by sharing South Atwood Road with cars. Adding a path through the wooded area provides a safe shortcut to Homestead/Wakefield Elementary School on the continuation of West Macphail Road. This addition will be a natural trail for commuting or recreation.
