The striping, repaving, and ADA upgrades along the Avenue are looking great!

We're making great progress on the ADA ramp reconstruction and are doing concrete work at the Madison/Wilson intersection.

Background

In the Winter of 2021, The Maryland Department of Transportation awarded a Kim Lamphier Bikeways Network Program grant to the Baltimore City Department of Transportation. From these funds, four Rapid Enhancement Plans are proposed throughout the city. Design work, community engagement, and construction of these four projects will address gaps in city's bike network. The 2015 Bike Master Plan, 2017 Separated Bike Lane Network Plan Addendum, and the 2021 Complete Streets Manual are key in the selection and design of the four proposed routes. Ultimately, the goal of these plans is to produce immediate return on investments to advance the goal of a safe, low stress, highly-accessible bike network.

Madison Avenue Bicycle Boulevard

The Madison Avenue Bicycle Boulevard’s boundaries are North Avenue and Wilson Street, which adjoins to the Baltimore City Recreation and Parks Crispus Attucks Rec Center. This important neighborhood connection will complement the Eutaw Place/Street Separated Bike Lane project under review. The proposed design of the Madison Avenue Bicycle Boulevard features traffic calming in the form of bicycle-friendly speed humps, parallel parking striping, and wayfinding signage to direct bicyclists towards major destinations.
