City Council Bill 26-0150

We are excited to share that MCB / Blank Slate incorporated our community's concerns regarding safety and the environment into City Council Bill 26-0150! 

The current plans:

• Eliminate parking on W. North Avenue and provide planters instead.

• Include plans for tree plantings.

• Reduce the zoning for liquor and wine sales to the planned liquor and wine store. 

• Include pedestrian safety and street markings.

Please take a look at our timeline of the past year of meetings that led to this.

Our goal is to ensure the best possible safety and quality of life for all neighbors in Reservoir Hill. It is our ongoing intention to advocate for your quality of life. Please join the conversation by attending our meetings and voicing your opinions.

What are our next steps?

• We need Blank Slate/MCB to put their commitments to the community in writing! We have sent MCB / Blank Slate a formal letter, which you can review . Once they sign off, the agreement will be made official in a Memorandum of Understanding. 

• Outreach to the Department of Public Works to learn more abou thte Baltimore City Natural Resources building review.

• Outreach to the Department of Transporation to understand what traffic calming measures have been accepted by the city.

We are so glad to come together as a community to push for a grocery store without sacrificing our safety, environment and quality of life because our community deserves it all. For more details on the facts, you can visit the timeline.
