Overview

The Office of Transportation is conducting a project to provide pedestrian and bicycle connections along Hickory Ridge Road between Martin Road and Broken Land Parkway. A study called the Hickory Ridge Bike Corridor was completed in 2020 to investigate multimodal connection opportunities between the Village of River Hill, Village of Hickory Ridge, and Downtown Columbia. This project is derived from some of the proposed improvements established in the 2020 corridor plan.

Project Details

The project is currently in the design phase. Current project designs include the following improvements:

  • Improved shared use path connections between Martin Road and Broken Land Parkway and between the existing Columbia Association pathway and Broken Land Parkway.
  • Pedestrian crossings of the west and south legs of Hickory Ridge Road at the Broken Land Parkway intersection, including pedestrian signalization.
  • Pedestrian crossings for the north, south and west legs of the Martin Road/Hickory Ridge Road intersection including pedestrian signalization.
