THE CHALLENGE

Baltimore City is focused on creating a system of connected multi-user trails that can improve the mobility options for people moving into and around the City.  The purpose of the Baltimore Greenway Trails Project is to continue the vision of a connected multi-use 35-mile greenway trail network in Baltimore City. The trail network will connect communities to each other including parks, waterfront, historical sites, educational institutions, business districts, in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way.

MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT

The greenway would promote a variety of transportation options like walking, biking, and running, while promoting recreation throughout the City. The Baltimore City Department of Transportation will develop 30% concept designs for the Northern Segments of the Baltimore Greenway Trails Network. The Northern Segments portion of this project spans from Gwynns Falls Park to Lake Montebello, and the goal is to provide equitable access to open space, recreation, and a safe means of transportation.
