People here generally talk to strangers, so you can usually just go to a bar sit down, grab a drink and someone will chat with you if you’re friendly looking.

They could contact their councilperson or delegates who likely can share the info with them.

For real. Someone from a place with a massive drug addiction problem, and meth heads rolling around calling Mount Vernon a shit hole. It’s usually such projection.

We live in Canton. There are 2 great elementary/middle schools here with Hampstead Hill And Wolfe Street academy. The public high school, not so much, but there’s a good Catholic high school nearby in Cristo Rey. Canton has great walkability, tons of young families, close to patterson park (a nice dog park there) and another dog park near the waterfront. It has really good access to 95 and 895, the main issue with the area is limited public transit. We have a water taxi stop at the waterfront park, a few bus lines, but the regularity isn’t great, and we currently have no rail. The walkability is so good in Canton though, that you can probably walk your kids to school and most people don’t move their car on the weekend.

Where in Baltimore are your offices for when you have to go in? Do you prioritize walkability and proximity to stores/schools/restaurants? Do you want access to public transit? Do you want access to highways?

He was the former chief of police. He was sent to prison IIRC. Now he goes around claiming it was a witch hunt. He and his bs is why I don’t listen to 105.7 anymore.

If we want this city to stop losing residents and maybe one day thrive, we have to stop looking at transit as cars and parking. It’s really, really harmful. Plenty of people around Hamden don’t drive and don’t want space dedicated to cars going in.

The proposed rail is a different track than the light rail IIRC. It’s the standard DC uses iirc.

Not if people show up to public meetings and zoning board hearings in numbers and oppose it.

So a business’ wants and needs (need is a stretch here) Trump the hood of the neighborhood and city as a whole?

The liquor store could spend far less money hiring young people to dolly people’s orders out To their street spot than it would cost for them to demolish a building and build a parking lot. It also wouldn’t have the huge detrimental effect on the neighborhood.

I don’t have Twitter so I can’t respond there, but that would be the opposite direction this city needs to go. We need less car dependency. We can’t even afford to keep up or rebuild the car infrastructure we have now without drastically increasing taxes. We need sustainable infrastructure that can actually cover its costs. Car-centric infrastructure never has and never will do this.

From what I’ve been told, there is intent to get going right away on the red line. There are some issues to deal with as far as original ROWs are concerned (we’ve built on them) so there will need to be slight route changes. I’m also concerned that the greenway trail and the red line are both counting on using the same defunct but still owned by Norfolk Southern ROW along Haven st in the SE. I’m still trying to get clarification on this though.

Just because “only” 15% of disabled people cycle (actually surprisingly high IMO) doesn’t mean 85% of disabled can’t use bike lanes. That’s a logical fallacy and is easily proven wrong. People in wheelchairs and mobility scooters etc use them all the time to get around. In fact that was a primary motivator for the Big Jump on Druid Hill Lake Dr. I’ve seen plenty of disabled people using Maryland Avenue also. But if you never bike, and only ever drive around sheltered in a car, you don’t notice these things. Also, you are trolling. It doesn’t mean your stupid arguments aren’t worth swatting aside and disproving so that others can learn from your stupidity.

Wow you’re generalizing all disabled people which is the definition of ableist. While I simply said “it’s ableist of you to claim disabled people can’t ride bikes.” So I cited data that showed you were wrong, you doubled down and proved me correct, then since you knew you did, you goal post moved to yet another incorrect and easily disprovable position. Again, just go away troll.

Ehh. It’s a fantastic public transit, bikeable and walkable area. If you can ditch your car to move there do it. Most resources you’ll need are within walking distance and the light rail is usually within a few blocks. Amtrak and Acela at Penn station, Maryland Ave bike lane. Even the subway is reachable via the light rail. That area is really just rich with alternate transit means. Probably the best in the city frankly. Not necessarily somewhere I’d live if you have to drive to get to work out in the county somewhere or drive around for work. It’s a densely populated urban core with parking restrictions on some streets and meters on some others and not anywhere near enough parking for all of the residents (if they all owned cars.)

Oh hmm I thought we were paying like 14¢.

Yes you are very yikes. Go troll somewhere else.

around 15% of disabled people cycle

According to this site, it’s full retail rates. So what you pay them for it is what they buy it from you for. I know it’s going up. It was 14¢/Kwh iirc.

It’s ableist of you to claim disabled people can’t ride bikes. Come up with something that’s not a BS retread as to why you’re carbrained.

Mt Vernon checks both boxes and is right off the light rail and near Penn Station.

I should know, but I’ve never bothered to look despite having solar panels.

Underground, or pig and rooster for Detroit style (they’re almost identical) Matthew’s for the original

I mean we do need to do bike lanes. We also need to improve our bus system. More busses with more frequency, signal priority and separated, protected bus lanes. Cars are the problem. Bikes aren’t making busses late, cars and disinvestment are.

Buses by and large are unreliable because they get stuck in car traffic. So once again, cars are the problem. We should charge market rate for parking cars. Owning a car shouldn’t be subsidized by people who can’t afford to own one which is what currently happens.
