Frederick County commissioners approve a $10,000 study of Md 85 between 1270 and English Muffin Way to map the long term plan, improve intersections, and ease congestion on a Route 85 busy corridor with developments already adding lights and lanes. The state and county expect the feasibility work to accelerate future funding and align with the consolidated transportation program.
