Meeting set on Clarksville streetscape project
AT A GLANCE
Howard County officials will hold a public meeting this month to present preliminary plans for sidewalks and a “shared use” concept for pedestrians and bicycles as part of a streetscape project planned for Clarksville.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m., Jan. 31, in the cafeteria at River Hill High School, 12101 Route 108 in Clarksville. The area under review is alongside Clarksville Pike between Guilford Road and Linden- Linthicum Lane.
County officials say the meeting will include a presentation and discussion, and staff from the Office of Transportation will attend to answer questions and field public comment. Details and information about the plan can be found online at how- ardcountymd.gov/Clarksville-River-Hill- Streetscape -Project.

—Staff reports Ellicott City development panel applications sought Howard County is seeking applications for two spots on a committee to explore creation of an Ellicott City community development corporation.
Last month, County Executive Calvin Ball announced he would form a committee to study whether a CDC — which generally promotes commerce and economic vitality — should be formed to benefit the mill town. The announcement was part of the package of initiatives aimed at flood mitigation and recovery.
Officials said the committee’s membership would consist largely of residents with expertise in areas such as finance, community development and nonprofit management.
There are two volunteer spots reserved for an Ellicott City business owner and an Ellicott City resident.
To be eligible for appointment as a resident, an individual must be a full-time resident in Ellicott City. To be eligible for an appointment as a business owner, an individual must have at least 50 percent ownership in an Ellicott City business.
Letters of interest and resumes will be accepted through Jan. 28 and can be emailed to ECSafeandSound@Howardcountymd.
The committee membership will be announced Feb. 1.
