Your thoughts help the project team understand your safety concerns along Maryland Avenue. We have received comments and concerns from pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists about locations where they feel that have conflicts, where they feel uncomfortable and where both crashes and “near miss” crashes have occurred.
