Is there a bigger recent quality of life breakthrough for rowhouse living than cafe lights? They completely transform the nighttime sidewalk. Recent grant-funded install here in Greektown.

This is so exciting for Highlandtown. I used to live on Bank around the corner from this building and just a few years ago it was a totally abandoned warehouse - across from a school no less. It looks so great now! 3925 Gough, check em out.
The new space is 10 times larger than its Little Italy shop. Take a look around the location.

It is so wild how many prominent people outside the city are co-signing this quest for a pardon with apparently zero curiosity about what actually happened.
Marilyn Mosby has dedicated her career to seeking justice and fighting for the underserved in Baltimore. Recently, she has faced extreme scrutiny for actions that are legal and understandable.

Scott’s pitch is that lowering the homicide rate and kinda getting the squeegee kids off the streets is enough for reelection. the homicide rate falling is wonderful but it’s in line with the top 20 cities (minus dc) in the country. So it’s just not enough.

Here is some publicly available context. 3 of the 4 properties Amtrak wants are vacants. The 4th - 1016 N Payson - is a rental property the owner got for 11k in 2019. Amtrak is offering between 52k-85k for each property. Landlord is just mad his 4-8x windfall isn’t more.

Love to live in a state with a clear commitment to climate mitigation coming all the way from the top. Now I’ll just adjust my monocle and take a big sip of coffee while I check out said governor’s transit and highway budget for next year…
This push by Baltimore aligns with our state's climate and electric vehicle transition goals, while also helping to reduce harmful emissions, improve operational efficiencies, and position Maryland as a national leader in fighting climate change.

And the idea that they mainly prey on the community they’re in isn’t born out by the data. It’s people passing through. “Only 4% of citations went to drivers registered within a half-mile of the cameras […] 10% when the distance was extended to one mile.”

There’s pushback on things like this or demolishing JFX but that’s just because they exist. We rightly see in retrospect how insane it was to want to crash freeways through Fed Hill, Fells, Canton, but somehow the places where it *wasn’t* stopped seem natural now, unchangeable.
Good illustration of how the Pratt/Light interchange can be reformed to a pedestrian friendly intersection

For as much as the Brew talks about the complete streets improvements throughout this article, they must have been a huge part of the overrun! Oh what’s that? It was only $180k or less than 3% of the cost? Huh, weird!
After 8 years of construction and 31% over budget, the Central Avenue Streetscape is almost done. Baltimore's Board of Estimates is expected to approve another $6.5 million today to finish a project that was bogged down in cost overruns.

Suburbanization, white flight and the strip malls had delivered a fatal wound to Howard Street long before the light rail was built.
Here's what Howard Street looked like last Friday at 3pm. A gorgeous day in June... THIS is what we believe light rail did to a once-thriving commercial corridor. Smart Line is a better way: Governor's announcement today at the MARC Station at 3pm.
