Parkland and Greenways
Railway Greenway
Vision 2032: 4-block greenway envisioned upon completion of Amtrak’s Douglass Tunnel work, extending from south of Mosher St to the commercial corridor at Edmondson Avenue. Major community value-add from the Amtrak project, potentially tying in a new park and small amphitheater (under new Lafayette St bridge) to the new Amtrak Station and a revitalized commercial corridor.
Commercial Corridor
Commercial Corridor Revitalization
Running along Edmondson Ave from Fulton Ave to the tracks (and what will be an entrance to the new MARC Station), Central West Baltimore’s traditional commercial corridor is being planned to reflower with multiple infill projects targeted, and Amtrak historic renovation funds available for existing structures. HUB/ECO-led initiatives for planning and project development in progress.
