I didn't say a thing about Safe Streets. I asked if the overall numbers I had are wrong because they seem to be completely different than what you implied.

I thought homicides were down ~22% and nonfatal shootings were down ~25% over this time last year. I was curious if I'm wrong because that doesn't seem to track with "have not decreased in any sort of meaningful way."

What is the overall homicide and nonfatal shooting count this year vs this time last year?

Weird the one media outlet that usually reports on Safe Streets the most doesn't have a piece on this!

Mostly bought beer cases but definitely carried 4 cases of cheap bubbly before for a brunch. There are lots of bikes (and ebikes) out there designed to carry big loads.

Every time someone says advocate for safer streets they say "except for this exception here" lol. This will make that block less safe for pedestrians. That's bad, and worse than any value add of inducing demand for a paltry few parking spots.

The majority of disabled Baltimoreans do not own a car. Hundreds more Baltimoreans are disabled every year as a result of crashes that could be prevented with safer street design that does not prioritize cars over pedestrian safety.

Designing neighborhoods to prioritize cars is ableist. Encouraging other options is not.

I used to buy a few cases at a time on my bike. It has a storage platform on the back for carrying cargo. I don't go to Wine Source anymore though, because they removed their bike rack.

What? I don't make the rules. But they exist for good reason. New curb cuts on dense, mixed use, walkable streets are dangerous, anti pedestrian design. And it sounds like there is precedent of previous denials so there certainly shouldn't be special treatment here.

The point of the article is the process. By skipping the required Part II hearing and streamlining this demolition, they've likely set precedent that can be used in the future to speedily demolish other historic properties without pause, creating more situations like this one.

It's also apparently illegal to put a new curb cut on Elm and they're just going through with the ordinance to pressure DOT into breaking the law and giving them the curb cut permit.

People were living in it when it was purchased. They were evicted.

The plan set submitted with the legislation is pavement.

Pretty simple: drivers try to kill you and also oppose bike lanes that make it safe for you to ride in the street.

If you want people to ride in a designated place, the best thing to do is give them a designated place.

All the hard surface removals and streetscaping they could be doing with main replacements to get MS4 credits but instead they're tearing out trees. Insane.

It sure can be, with a council president that doesn't neuter it deliberately to undermine reform efforts and consolidate power.

Roland ones sucked and were designed substandard to preserve car travel lanes. Check out Central Ave. That's the standard design for a real facility with one way in either direction.

79 311 requests and 0 citations over 1.5 years.

While crashes tend to be slightly higher at intersections on our two way protected facilities because the city is too cowardly to ban left turns, serious injury and fatal crashes are worse on roads with standard or no facilities and ridership is also much higher on the separated infrastructure.

That's illegal, just like this illegal parking.

Yup.

Next time you go by look at the intersection right at Maryland. There are almost always 3 cars: an illegally parked tow truck, and a red Lexus and a black car blocking crosswalks. All three rotate different plates or have no plates depending on the day. There's a 4th Volkswagen that normally parks by the hydrant or the other no stopping zone.

The same 4 cars always block the crosswalks and curb ramps there, directly in front of a senior tower. Half the time they don't even have tags on them. I don't understand why DOT doesn't just tow them.

Kidding aside it's good to see this owned up to. I hope the department makes this right by delivering a project consistent with the community's grant so the money isn't lost, as it sounds like that's at risk.

In the city? You found the only cop willing to do this lol. Lucky.

Are you supportive of a tax increase to build more school capacity in the county?
