About this Project

The Middle Branch to Inner Harbor Segment of the Greenway Trail Network is a planned 0.65-mile shared-use path in South Baltimore. This project would add a separated trail along neighborhood streets from Stockholm Street in the Casino and Entertainment District to Solo Gibbs Park in the Sharp-Leadenhall neighborhood and an additional stretch through the Otterbein and Federal Hill neighborhoods to Light Street and Key Highway. This project is broken up into two pieces, one approaching the southwest corner of Solo Gibbs Park, and another from the northwest corner of the park to the Inner Harbor.

This project is a part of the larger 73-mile Greenway Trails Network. Learn more about the network and how it connects Baltimore neighborhoods and makes our city a more livable and resilient place to live. Learn more about the network.

    

Project Goals

The Greenway Trail Network-Middle Branch to Inner Harbor Project seeks to:

  • Connect two popular destinations while filling a gap in the Greenway Trail Network. The project has been strategically planned to link together the growing hospitality and entertainment hub of the Casino and Entertainment District in South Baltimore, just west of the Patapsco River’s Middle Branch, and the Inner Harbor, an epicenter for tourism and economic activity in Baltimore.
  • Increase multimodal access to key destinations. Potential trail users, including local residents and tourists, currently lack a dedicated facility to travel between these two destinations that facilitates safe travel without the use of a car. Filling in this Greenway Trail Network gap will provide a direct, separated path in South Baltimore.
  • Promote connectivity between existing park spaces. Extending a path network to and from Solo Gibbs Park, which has dedicated off-street paths within, will fulfill the City of Baltimore’s goal of better linking existing green spaces such as Solo Gibbs Park, Rash Field, and Federal Hill Park.

Project Status

This project is in the Planning & Design phase.

As of Spring 2026, this project is advancing to the 30% design phase and will then proceed towards the 100% design phase. Refining the 30% design plans will also include:

  • Engaging adjacent communities with project updates

  • Coordinating designs with developers in the Casino and Entertainment District and Inner Harbor, as well as elected officials and other stakeholders near the Project area

Community Engagement

We look forward to engaging with community members to solicit their input about the Greenway Trail Network-Middle Branch to Inner Harbor Segment. Feedback gathered during engagement activities will inform the project design. Here's how you can get involved and share your thoughts:

  • Leave us a comment or question using the comment box at the bottom of the page. We'll summarize these comments at the end of the engagement phase and use the feedback to inform the final design. We'll also update the FAQ section on this page based on questions we receive.
  • Connect with us via your neighborhood association. We'll be reaching out to the neighborhood associations along the corridor and offering to attend upcoming existing community events and meetings to share project information, gather community feedback, and answer project questions. See the confirmed list of meetings below. As additional meetings are confirmed, we'll share all event or meeting details on this page. Stay tuned! Please contact dotengagement@baltimorecity.gov if you would like for us to come present project details and answer questions at an upcoming event in your neighborhood.
