Survey Will Help Identify Needs; Virtual Meeting Planned for June 21
(June 7, 2022) –MDOT SHA is conducting a survey and will host a virtual public meeting Tuesday, June 21, as part of its ongoing planning study for potential improvements along MD 90 between US 50 (Ocean Gateway) and MD 528 (Coastal Highway) in Worcester County. As part of the $850,000 Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) study, the MDOT SHA survey will help identify needs, concerns and priorities for potential improvements.
The public is invited to participate in the virtual public meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 21. At the meeting, MDOT SHA will familiarize participants with the project and answer project-related questions. A link to join the meeting is available on the project portal page here.
In August 2021, Governor Larry Hogan announced funding for the study’s project planning phase, noting the important role of MD 90 in providing access, economic opportunity and emergency response capabilities. Improvements to the MD 90 corridor have been identified by Worcester County and Ocean City as their top transportation priority. Information about the project, and the online survey is available here.
MD 90 between US 50 and MD 528 is generally a two-lane freeway with a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Motorists currently experience traffic congestion along both EB & WB MD 90. Along eastbound MD 90, traffic queues approaching the MD 528 intersection during the summer season typically extend nearly six miles to MD 589 on Fridays and more than 7.5 miles to US 113 on Saturdays. Both MD 90 and US 50 are primary evacuation routes to leave the Ocean City and Assateague areas during a severe weather event or emergency. MD 90 also is a designated hurricane evacuation route out of Ocean City. #MDOTnews #MDtraffic
This is a joke. The only thing is it is going to cost tax payers more to hold these “fake I want to hear from the public” then I am going to do it anyway . That is until people start to get killed by these aggressive out of staters and western shore nuts. Then who is going to get sued for unsafe road conditions? The SHA, since their is not enough STATE POLICE to patrol or any way to stop these nuts safely and they don’t care about cameras. UNSAFE and irresponsible use of tax dollars.
how about a limited access toll road highway from the bay bridge to oc? let the tourons pay for it!
Easy peasy!
