Harvest Creek subdivision and Ridge Road traffic
Carroll County
Summary
A 137-lot cluster subdivision in Marriottsville got final approval for its first 79 lots. Ridge Road is flagged 'approaching inadequate' for traffic — a yellow warning, not a red light — and testing showed it stays there even counting every future home. Residents worry about density and traffic, and the county may need to fund road connections through the CIP.

Impact analysis
The county will eventually take over roads and stormwater facilities built by the developer; future Ridge Road improvements would fall to the county CIP.
Future homeowners gain 79 new half-acre lots with active open space, a pavilion, and full road connections.
Neighbors on Shayland Drive say the half-acre lots are denser than the surrounding one-acre character and add traffic to Ridge Road.
