If a Waldorf bypass is selected, will it speed up the general rate of development and lead to sprawl?
The US 301 Task Force concluded that regional growth trends will continue with or without a proposed bypass. Recent data – school enrollments, population, and building permits – support the household and employment projections used in the work of the US 301 Task Force. Local governments have the authority and responsibility for land use planning and zoning decisions. Should a bypass alternative be selected, the number of interchanges will be limited to help reduce the potential for sprawl, and their locations will be consistent with county-designated development areas.
