On October 3rd, the Planning Board voted to consider removing the unbuilt northern and southern extensions of Midcounty Highway Extended (M-83), including the adjacent bikeway, from the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways (MPOHT). This Planning Board vote caught many people in Clarksburg community by surprise as the draft of the MPOHT left the roadway intact. You can read more about the issue on MPOHT’s 2024 technical update website.
To provide more time for comment, Planning staff is hosting another community meeting tonight, October 29, 6:00-8:00pm at Clarksburg High School, 22500 Wims Rd, Clarksburg, MD. Please RSVP to attend the meeting at the link here:

Written comments can also be shared with the Planning Board via email by noon on Thursday, November 28, 2024. Written comments must reference the hearing date, the item, and a mailing address.
