EASTON, MARYLAND — Follow the survey link, not a paving contract.

The Town of Easton posted a CivicAlert on Aug. 7, 2026, announcing a new interactive Complete Streets webpage and survey on engage.eastonmd.gov. Complete Streets, in the town’s words, is an engineering and planning approach that designs and improves streets to safely accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, motorists, and people with disabilities. The page carries project information, public engagement tools, and a timeline of work still ahead.

The Aug. 7 alert lists three tools. A Transportation and Safety Survey collects street experience and safety data. The Social Map tool drops labeled pins on a townwide map, with upvotes and downvotes for collaboration and prioritization. A photo and video submission path flags roadway problems without waiting for a meeting night. The survey runs at engage.eastonmd.gov/complete-streets/.

“The Complete Streets Project is founded on public input, and while public meetings require organization and are constrained to time, the Complete Streets page is open at all times and is easily accessible,” Miguel Salinas, Director of Planning and Zoning, said in the Aug. 7 release. “It’s an incredible resource to be able to get this level of feedback, and to know exactly what people are looking to improve on our roadways. This webpage launch and survey are just the start.”

On the Engage timeline, Task 1 was a project kickoff presentation to the Planning Commission on Aug. 20, 2026, plus going live for public participation. Later tasks cover townwide crash, sidewalk, and bike-facility inventories; growth-area traffic analysis; future travel conditions through 2050; and updates to Comprehensive Plan network maps, goals, and performance measures. The town is working with Forward Progress on a Comprehensive Master Transportation Plan that builds on Complete Streets design guidance; the Complete Streets Manual is under development, with a final draft listed among next steps. Work detailed on the page is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2027.

The Engage page ties Complete Streets to the town’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan effort to reduce roadway danger and reach zero fatalities — Vision Zero — and lists Complete Streets as the fourth of eight Vision Zero steps.
