Neighbors today are living out the effects of these decisions. They instead set up lawn chairs across the street to listen in. Monalisa Diallo lives in Mondawmin, several blocks from another prominent entrance at Gwynns Falls Parkway that houses the Rawlings Conservatory and the gateway to the Maryland Zoo.

Baltimore enacted its Complete Streets ordinance in December , committing to less car-centric and more pedestrian-focused transportation planning, and this spring the city rolled out a local design manual. Ideas fielded so far include reducing the number of lanes, installing an elevated pedestrian walkway, adding new mid-block crosswalks and expanding sidewalks and adding more trees for shade.
While technically siloed as separate projects, officials say the timing worked out well and that the two plans can complement one another. For several years, Baltimore has undertaken a living experiment known as the Big Jump, stretching 1. While some drivers have complained the Big Jump creates a troublesome bottleneck, recently published traffic study results beg to differ. Matthew Hendrickson, a city bike planner with DOT who helps manage the project, said the Big Jump offers a precedent for successful traffic calming outside Druid Hill.
The Druid Hill vision planning team is set to make one more public presentation of its findings and designs in September, and will then present a final report to city officials by the end of October. From there, it will be a waiting game. Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website.
