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 will update this section when we have a schedule of planned engagement events. Please stay tuned!
