Queen Anne's County, as part of the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC), is excited to announce its participation in the Bikeable Baltimore Region (BBR) project. This initiative aims to identify the first regional bike network that ensures safe and comfortable biking for people of all ages and abilities across the Baltimore region.
A public comment period for the BBR project will be open from May 21 to July 26, 2024. During this time, residents of Queen Anne's County and surrounding areas are encouraged to share their thoughts and feedback. The BBR project seeks to create a connected bike network that will enhance local communities by providing safe and equitable access to essential destinations such as public transit, schools, workplaces, and parks.
To engage the community and gather input, the BMC will host a public meeting at the Kent Island Library on Thursday, June 27, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. This meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to learn more about the project, discuss their biking experiences, and contribute to the vision and goals of the regional bike network.
In addition to the in-person meeting in Queen Anne's County, the BMC will offer two virtual meetings to accommodate broader participation:
- Virtual Meetings:
- Tuesday, June 4 at 12:00 PM
- Wednesday, June 26 at 6:00 PM
Residents who cannot attend any of the meetings can still participate by viewing the meeting materials online and submitting their comments through various channels:
