ADA Compliant Crosswalk, Sidewalk Ramp Project Starts Monday

COLUMBIA, MD — Starting Monday, sidewalk ramps and a crosswalk compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act will be installed on Cedar Lane just south of Lightfoot Path in Columbia. The project, which should be completed in approximately three days, will provide a safer crossing for pedestrians heading toward Harpers Choice Middle School.

A non-standard crosswalk located approximately 175 feet north of Lightfoot Path was removed during the recent repaving of Cedar Lane. The new crossing will be installed approximately 200 feet south of the former location.

Signs and flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic as needed as lane shifts along Cedar Lane can be expected during construction hours 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. The sidewalks along northbound and southbound Cedar Lane will be closed for the duration of the project.
