I guess I thought you meant something else? This is what it looks like today
Edit: because it’s the internet I want to clarify that I am not arguing. Just trying to understand what you mean because if we’re talking about the same intersection I also agree that it sucks!

There is a left turn only sign there! The right lane has a combined squiggle for straight and right turn. It’s just shitty design and nobody abides by the signage.

Baltimore he wayyyy too many two lane turn lanes and slip ways. This one is is among the worst. Can y’all tackle the light to Pratt slip way signage next? Nobody knows if there are three lanes to Pratt or 4 lanes to Calvert. (There’s 2 to Pratt and 4 to Calvert)

Grew up in Buffalo but stopped following when I moved away (also as the Sabres got worse and worse). But the leafs losing in the playoffs is a tale as old as I can remember

So is Toronto more likely to earn the second seed but regardless of their seed, TB is favored to win the series?

Reply to comment by dopkick in Anyone have thoughts on the Luminary Apartments at One Light in Baltimore? by DaleDuzit
Couldn’t agree more. When I lived downtown, it was really nice to be central to everything. We spent time in Fed, LP, Station North, MV, Fells, inner harbor, even Charles Village. We had to leave DT to do much of anything. Now that I am in upper fells, I do not leave fells.
It was really great for where we were in our lives and wanting to explore more of the city. But now I’m content with my little corner of Baltimore.

Honestly any amount of “out of the way” is worth it for OvenBird

From Baltimore and Paca I think you’d find that you feel safer, it’s better lit, and more foot traffic, to go to Pratt and follow the harbor to fells, as opposed to taking Baltimore, Lombard, or Pratt straight across. I’ve lived at Lombard and gay and currently live off Baltimore in upper fells, I personally don’t mind the Lombard or Baltimore walk, but from Caroline to President it feels a little sus because there’s not much activity around and the sidewalks are littered with broken glass. Adding that the Block is very sus at all hours; I’ve a run in for no reason at like 1pm on a Saturday and just avoid it now.

This is a common project where I live in Baltimore. It usually costs at least 100k. Requires a structural engineer. If you have a local Facebook group for home improvement etc, you should ask around there.

Glad you’re safe, sorry you had to be involved in this. Thanks for the reminder to do everything I can to not engage with other drivers because you have absolutely no idea what somebody is really willing to do.

Tuna and 4 bean salad, avocado toast. Why would you order these things in a subscription service when you can either open a few cans and add lime juice or simply, make toast.

My take is that Maryland has a TON of highway for such a small state. And maryland keeps building new highway and widening old ones. It comes at the expense of maintaining the very heavily trafficked highways. I lived in Buffalo most of my driving life, and even with the snow ice and salt, 90, 190, 290 and 990 are in better shape than 95, 295, and 495.

I forgot to add - I didn’t realize that the enforcement campaign is the result of increased complaints. I am VERY happy to see that there is finally a feedback loop from residents to 311 to DOT and now, back to residents! Thank you.

Great work. It makes plenty of sense. New traffic patterns, rules, etc, should be accompanied by PSAs, signage, education, and then enforcement. Glad you’re doing so much.
Unrelated, can you consider a left turning lane on Lombard to Central? The left and center lanes on Lombard appear to be through traffic lanes, and the 30° turn immediately followed by street parking after the deli is hair raising.
