Last night we went out with Councilman Jones and his team to talk to residents along Cecil Ave from 22nd to 20th about the project. The project will include:
-
On Cecil Ave from 22nd and 20th:
- it will become a one-way street (going southbound),
- with angled parking on the east side of Cecil Ave.
- There will be no parking loss.
- A new crosswalk at the school’s entrance on Cecil Ave
- New ADA ramps & “bump outs” at the intersections
- A elevated bus stop at 22nd & Kirk for a better bus experience
This project stems from initial community visioning completed by Cecil Elementary School, Central Baltimore Partnership, Neighborhood Design Center, Greater Greenmount Community Association between 2021 an 2023. This project advances their initial concept plans.
Stay tuned as we move forward with the design! If you have questions or comments, submit them here.
