Street art mixes with upgrades to make West North Avenue safer

Several groups are joining forces with the goal of making Baltimore streets safer and more attractive.

Local designers, engineers, neighbors, and the State of Maryland are teaming up to improve transit access and pedestrian safety at West North Avenue’s busy intersections with McCulloh Street and Druid Hill Avenue. Graham Projects, the West North Avenue Development Authority (WNADA), and Open Works Baltimore are collaborating on feedback, budgets, and public art designs to enhance the streetscape.

“Over the past several months our team and Open Works have completed a lot of rewarding work along North Avenue at Druid Hill and McCulloh,” said Graham Coreil-Allen, owner of Graham Projects. “These placemaking and public art upgrades improve pedestrian safety, increase bus accessibility, and beautify the block with a community-inspired street mural designed and installed in collaboration artist JaVon Townsend.”
