Description
Presentation: Druid Park Lake Drive Complete Streets Feasibility Study
The Baltimore City Department of Transportation's Druid Park Lake Drive Complete Streets Study, completed in 2021, reimagines Druid Park Lake Drive in Baltimore City to significantly increase safety for all modes, including pedestrians, on this major corridor bordering Druid Hill Park. Druid Park Lake Drive is a high-speed, highway-like arterial roadway that divides Druid Hill Park from several majority-Black communities and currently has unsafe walking infrastructure marked by high-speed traffic, infrequent safe crossing opportunities, a lack of continuous sidewalks, and inhospitable intersections. The Druid Park Lake Drive Complete Streets study presents concepts for the future of this roadway as a corridor that is safe and accessible for pedestrians by adding continuous, ADA-compliant sidewalk, redesigning intersections with safe pedestrian crossing infrastructure, and reducing the width and speed of the roadway to increase comfort for people on foot. This presentation will provide an overview of the project, highlighting the design process and the concepts developed to make walking safe and accessible on Druid Park Lake Drive.
