Funding announced for bike, pedestrian projects in Maryland

MARYLAND – Governor Wes Moore has announced $25.5 million in grants for bicycle, pedestrian, and trail projects across Maryland, two of which are on the Eastern Shore.

We’re told $400,000 is slated to go towards the final design of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Circulation Trail in Princess Anne. Another $400,000 is slated for the construction of the Carroll Street Cycle track in Salisbury.

“To grow our economy and attract a world-class workforce, we need to build new pathways from home to work to leisure,” said Governor Wes Moore. “An investment in making Maryland more livable is an investment in making Maryland more competitive. I’m proud of the strong bonds we’ve built between leaders at the local, state, and federal levels to secure this funding, and we will continue moving in partnership to enhance physical and economic mobility for all Marylanders.”
