The city of Baltimore is ready to make a concerted effort in planning for multiple modes of transportation and all users of the public realm.
The Baltimore City Council is in the final stages of consideration on a bill that would require Complete Streets planning and engineering decisions during Baltimore Department of Transportation projects.
Colin Campbell reports that the "Complete Streets" bill could expect overwhelming support from the public and from members of the City Council at a recent public hearing on the bill.
"Councilman Ryan Dorsey’s bill, which is supported by transit and bicycling advocates, would create a coordinating council of eight agency heads, and require the city transportation director report annually to the council and the public on the initiative's progress," according to Campbell.
