Good Hope Road Shared Use Path

The project was originally proposed as a five-foot sidewalk in the 1997 Cloverly Master Plan. After the Bicycle Master Plan was adopted in Fall 2018, the proposed width was increased to eight feet and the facility type was updated to a sidepath. A sidepath is a type of shared-used-path that accommodates two-way travel for pedestrians and bicyclists, located parallel to the road. The sidepath is proposed along Good Hope Road from Windmill Lane to Rainbow Drive, a length of approximately one mile. The project also provides a pedestrian bridge that is 40-foot long and eight-foot wide at the intersection of Good Hope Road and Hopefield Road. The project site is within the Upper Paint Branch Special Protection Area.
