95% Design Milestone

Published: January 2026

As of Winter 2026, we are in the process of finalizing our project design plans. In the last 6 months, we've advanced the 60% designs to the 95% milestone and are in the process of integrating feedback to prepare for a final design submission. Some recent key highlights:

• Design - We continue to make progress on the Washington St Bikeway & Traffic Calming plans. We submitted our 95% designs in the Fall for review and we're currently in the process of integrating feedback so we can submit our final designs for approval. We also received the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval for this project in December 2025.

• Engagement - In Fall 2025, we worked with offices of Councilman Jones, Councilman Glover, and Councilman Parker to door knock businesses and organizations along the corridor to share information about the project and answer questions. We've updated our FAQ to include the community questions we've received in the last several months.

• Funding - We're proud to announce that we received a grant award of $4.1 million from Maryland’s State Highway Administration HSIP program. This award covers our remaining funding gap on the anticipated construction cost

60% Design Milestone

Published: June 2025

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback and completed the community survey in early 2025. We were able to connect with many of you at the 10 community association meetings and events we attended along the corridor between January and May 2025. Your questions, comments, and survey responses helped inform the 60% design.

The 60% designs are now available in the documents section of this project page. Our next steps is to further refine the design to get it ready for construction. We are on track to have the final (100%) designs ready by late fall.

Community survey closes March 28

Published: March 2025

As part of the 60% design process, we are asking for community members to complete this survey which asks questions about safety and use:

• Safety: How safe do you feel traveling on Washington Street?

• Use: How often and for what purpose do you travel along Washington Street?

If you haven't submitted a survey response yet, please do so by March 28.

We will use the information gathered in this survey to finalize the 60% design plans.

Take our Community Survey!

Published: December 2024

We are in the process of developing the 60% design plans for the Washington Street Bikeway & Traffic Calming project. As part of this process, we are asking for community members to complete this survey which asks questions about the following topics:

• Safety: How safe do you feel traveling on Washington Street?

60% Design Phase Starting for Washington Street

Published: December 2024

As of Fall 2024, we are in the process of developing 60% design plans for this project.

Developing the 60% design plans involves:

• Conducting field work, collecting data, and refining the 30% designs. We will be conducting topographical surveys of intersections, sign inventory, and signalized equipment inventory. This work will inform the 60% design plans.
• Connecting with community members to provide updates, collect feedback, and answer questions. We will be attending community meeting and events in January & February to:
  • Share project information. Update community members about the status of the project and share the most up-to-date information about the project.
  • Collect community feedback. Gather community feedback on how community members use Washington St and how safe they feel via this survey. We will use the survey data to finalize the 60% design plans.
  • Answer questions. Provide opportunities, both in-person and virtual, to answer questions and note down community concerns. We will document questions and concerns raised by community members. We will use this information to update the FAQ section of the Streets of Baltimore page. If community members raise concerns that we are able to address at this stage of the project we will address those concerns.

New individual project pages for Washington St and Wolfe St

Published: December 2024

In 2023 DOT completed the Wolfe-Washington Bikeway Study. The completion of this study included the development of 30% design plans for both Washington Street and Wolfe Street.

As we advance with design and implementation, we separated the project into two distinct projects. Moving forward, this Streets of Baltimore project page will be for the Washington Street Bikeway & Traffic Calming project.

In the coming months, we will develop a separate project page for the Wolfe Street Traffic Calming project and notify this project page when it is live.

If you have any questions, please submit those in the “Questions & Comments” box at the bottom of the project page. Thank you!

The City of Baltimore held a Virtual Listening Session introducing the Wolfe-Washington Bikeway Study.

On the evening of Thursday, January 21, 2021 at 6:00pm, City staff and their team held a virtual introduction to the Wolfe Washington Bikeway Study. The team introduced the goals and timeline of the study, provided an educational introduction to bicycle infrastructure, and solicited feedback from the communities and residents surrounding Wolfe Street and Washington Streets, from Aliceanna Street in Fell’s Point to Sinclair Lane in Clifton Park. Community input was used to inform the team conducting the study about community priorities, concerns, and design preferences.
