With economic development, McGilloway stressed that measures will be taken to ensure that customers and visitors have access to businesses on Main Street during construction. He also discussed the possibility of developing a shuttle system to bring people to Old Ellicott City, which currently has about 900 parking spaces. With parking, planners will explore restricting parking where the flood risk is greatest, short-term parking options and valet parking, McGilloway said. Withers said he is “encouraged” to see the plan address the ADA, as it is “hard in a historic district to be ADA-accessible.” The plan will look to link nearby neighborhoods to downtown with new bicycle and pedestrian paths while meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. One focus of the plan is to increase green space and tree canopy wherever possible under the environmental sustainability framework.Ĭreating alternatives for residents and visitors to get around the community that don’t include driving will require the master plan to improve the overall walkability and access to sidewalks and paths, McGilloway said.
