To beachbound travelers, Trappe may be little more than a âspeed awareness zoneâ encountered on their drive to Ocean City, MD. As U.S. Route 50 bypasses the little town on the Chesapeake Bayâs Eastern Shore, about all motorists see is a scattering of modest houses and a handful of gas stations, convenience stores and businesses.
That could begin to change soon. A developer aims to break ground by yearâs end on the first phase of Lakeside, a planned community of 2,501 homes and apartments, a 30-acre lake and a small shopping center. All of it is to be built on undeveloped land the town annexed nearly two decades ago.
