Project Timeline: Summer 2021 – Fall 2022
The Damascus Mobility Plan project engaged the public and technical experts to identify roadway improvements to improve safety, equity, and mobility for the traveling public in the Damascus area over the next 20 years. The plan, which focused on passenger and freight vehicle travel, was developed based on existing county land use and zoning designations in the study area.
In November 2022 the Board of Commissioners approved amending Chapter 5, Transportation System Plan, of the County Comprehensive Plan to include projects and information from the plan. The amendments included:
- Adding transportation projects identified in the Damascus Mobility Plan to Tables 5-3a through 5-3c
- Adding transportation projects identified in the Damascus Mobility Plan to Map 5-11a
- Adding the Damascus Mobility Plan in Comprehensive Plan Appendix B: Summary of Supporting Documents
- Removing references to the City of Damascus.
