Transportation Finksburg Corridor Plan 1. Coordinate with SHA to conduct an alternatives feasibility study of the MD 140/MD 91 intersection and to complete an access management study of the entire MD 140 corridor The County is in the process of developing a scope of work with SHA to conduct an analysis of various alternatives for addressing conditions at the MD 140/MD 91 intersection. The goal is to develop several alternatives for addressing traffic safety and congestion at the intersection, including the possibility of a grade-separated interchange. The study will take into consideration resulting modifications that may be required to local roads along the corridor from the Carroll County/Baltimore County line in the east to Kays Mill Road in the west. It also will take into consideration improvements planned as part of SHA’s MD 140 Corridor Enhancements project. The hope is to have the study become the basis for a seamless transition between planning at the concept level and the implementation of specific projects. The desired end product is a document that will: 1. Identify several potential alternative intersection configurations, along with any associated secondary roadway modifications; 2. Recommend a preferred configuration and modifications; 3. Provide a list of constraints for the preferred location; and 4. Develop conceptual land acquisition, design/engineering, and construction cost estimates for logical project phases. Additionally, the County should continue to coordinate with SHA on the completion of an access management study for the entire MD 140 corridor from the reservoir to Market Street in Westminster. This study will recommend points at which direct access onto MD 140 can be eliminatedconsolidated, as well as options for creating secondary access roads that would direct traffic to consolidated, controlled or signalized intersections instead. The objective is to reduce the potential for accidents and improve the overall flow of traffic along the corridor, both of which are compromised by the numerous individual driveways that access directly onto MD 140. The access management study and the alternatives feasibility study are mutually supportive. Improvements to the MD 140/MD 91 intersection almost certainly will involve modifications to the access points in the immediate vicinity, which will have broader implications for circulation throughout the corridor. Therefore, conducting both of these studies so that they respond to each other is essential.
