A Resolution Calling for Reinvestment in Pedestrian Safety, Transit  
Access, Affordability, and Climate Action over Highway Expansion - For  
the purpose of urging the Maryland Department of Transportation State  
Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) to align the I97 widening project  
‑
with the State’s Complete Streets Policy, Vision Zero, and climate  
commitments, and with the City of Annapolis’s adopted goals for safe streets,  
resilience, affordable housing, and expanded transit access; and to express the  
City Council’s preference that State transportation funding be coordinated or  
reallocated toward multimodal, climate  
‑
forward, and transitready  
‑
investments rather than highway expansion alone, including the incorporation  
of express bus or transit lanes designed for future upgrading to fixedrail  
‑
service, consistent with other regional fixedrail projects advancing in  
‑
Maryland.
