The Village of Brandywine dates to the early 19th century and still has some characteristics of a small rural community. New planned developments will bring added housing, employment, and recreational opportunities to the area. There is a need to provide safe, accessible pedestrian and bicycle connections through the village and to new destinations such as the Southern Area Aquatics and Recreation Complex recently constructed on Missouri Avenue.Black Swamp Creek Land Trust, Inc. requested engineering and design plans that will balance the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists and shape an environment that ensures bicycle and pedestrian circulation and safety for a 1.1-mile section of MD 381 (Brandywine Road), the main street of Old Brandywine Village, and approximately 0.83 miles northward along Missouri Avenue to US 301 (Crain Highway).
