Eutaw St Complete Streets Resurfacing

What is the Eutaw Street Complete Streets Resurfacing project?

Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT) is repaving North Eutaw Street from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (MLK) to Mulberry Street. During the repaving, BCDOT is also adding Complete Streets upgrades. Complete Streets means the street will be designed to be safe and accessible for people walking, biking, rolling, driving, and riding the bus.

This project sits in City Council District 11. Right now, public engagement for this project will begin in the summer of 2026.

Why is this project happening?

As part of all resurfacing projects, BCDOT reviews the corridor for Complete Streets treatments. Often this includes routine improvements like adding or refreshing crosswalks, narrowing travel lanes, and/or installing bump outs. Sometimes, depending on the context, more significant adjustments—ones that change the roadway configuration—are required. For example, if the project is on the bike master plan. For this project, Eutaw Street from MLK to Centre Street, overlaps with the separated facilities on the 2017 separated bike master plan and will receive additional multimodal upgrades on that portion.

For reference, a map of all resurfacing projects can be found here.

The project has two parts:

From MLK to Centre Street, we will build a cycle track. A cycle track is a bike lane set apart from cars, providing people on bikes with their own protected space. This part of Eutaw Street is on the City's 2017 separated bike plan. This part is the Green section on the map below.

From Centre Street to Mulberry Street, we will add traffic calming. Traffic calming uses measures like improved road markings and shorter crossings to slow traffic and make streets safer. This part is the Purple section on the map below.

What will the improvements look like?

In addition to resurfacing the roadway, this corridor will receive Complete Streets treatments that support safer travel for all users like adding or refreshing crosswalks, narrowing travel lanes, and/or installing bump outs. Bicycle facilities along Eutaw from MLK to Centre Street will also be installed in alignment with the Separated Bike Master Plan.

What improvements will be made MLK to Centre Street?

On Eutaw Street from MLK to Centre Street we will install an new an "all ages and abilities" separated bike facility per the master plan.

Typical proposed cross section

To make a safe and separated path that people of all ages and abilities to enjoy, precast curbs, known as “pills", will be used in conjunction with flex post to create a separated barrier.

Bus stops along the cycle track will also be upgraded with "bus bulbs". These types of stops already exist throughout Baltimore City and provide level boarding access to users, allow the bus to keep in lane, and reduce conflict points, leading to improved boarding time and safety. Below is an example from Fallsway.

What improvements will Centre to Mulberry get?

This section of Eutaw Street will receive standard treatments to increase safety and access such as updated crosswalks, ADA ramps, daylighting, and bump outs.

Community Meetings and Events

In 2026 between June and September, we attended existing community events and meetings to share project information, gather community feedback, and answer project questions. Below are the meetings and events BCDOT plans to attend.
