Complete Streets Community Engagement Plan Workshops
Workshop video
The County hosted two virtual Complete Streets Community Engagement Plan Workshops on September 23, 2020 for the public to learn more about Howard County’s Complete Streets initiative and the draft Community Engagement Plan. The public had the opportunity to ask questions and provide input to the Plan under development. Twenty-six members of the public attended the afternoon workshop, and 11 attended the evening workshop. A video of the Workshop is available here.
