Druid Park Lake Drive Complete Streets Design Effort

Project Purpose

The City of Baltimore Office of Boards & Commissions has been requested by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to certify the proposals of multi-disciplinary design engineering firms (urban design, landscape architecture, traffic engineering, etc.) to provide a transportation study and design services for the Druid Park Lake Drive Complete Streets Design Effort.  Using Complete Streets design principles this effort aims to address the safety challenges visitors face accessing Druid Hill Park from the Druid Park Lake Drive Corridor (I-83 to Greenspring Ave). 

Goals:

• Identify areas of multimodal improvemen
• Develop methods for Traffic Calming
• Identify areas for safer connections for those traveling outside of a car
• Re-incorporate roadway sections to become part of the park  
• Consider new circulation/ traffic patterns to highlight historical/structural elements from their original vantage points
• Design a corridor with elements of a boulevard
