7th Street Bicycle Lane

About

Seventh Street is one of the principal corridors in central Frederick, serving North Market, East Street, Fort Detrick, Frederick Memorial Hospital, US15, and commercial and residential neighborhoods along the way. As part of efforts outlined in the Comprehensive Plan to create a more equitable, safe, and multimodal transportation network, the City is determining what kind of bicycle infrastructure should be added to the road.

The resulting facility will tie in the existing bike lane on North Market, the new bicycling infrastructure that will be built as part of East Street Rails with Trails, and neighborhood streets.

The project will be split into three phases:

1. Between North Market and US15
2. Between North Market and East Street
3. Between US15 and Military Road

Vital Data

Length: 1.5 miles

Project Status

Phase 1: North Market to US15

Currently, the city is working to create a feasibility study that would identify what kind of bicycle infrastructure would be best suited for Phase 1 as well as the cost for this phase. Once the study is complete, it will inform the design of subsequent phases.

Phase 2: North Market to East Street

This phase will begin after the feasibility study for Phase 1 is complete.

Phase 3: US15 to Military Road

This phase will begin after the feasibility study for Phase 1 is complete.
