See below from Nate Evans (nate.ev...@baltimorecity.gov ), our Bicycle Planner in the Dept of Transportation. Hope all's grand, -=G=- Good Afternoon Everyone, As the Guilford Avenue Bicycle Boulevard project nears final design, I wanted to let you know how this project would affect the street. No parking spaces were eliminated with this project and the overall nature of Guilford Ave will remain as it is - a quiet, residential street. The planned improvements will discourage through traffic and reduce traffic speed without altering access for local residents. The planned improvements include: 1. "Sharrows" added along the length of Guilford Avenue from University Pkwy to Mt. Royal Ave, where the project will meet Phase 2 of the Jones Falls Trail. 2. Mini circles will replace 4 way stops at 22nd St, 24th St and 32nd St. Community input played a vital role in helping DOT determine where the mini-circles were needed to improve safety and security. 3. A stop sign has been added to 20th St at Guilford Ave, just north of the school headquarters 4. 27th & 31st St. intersections reduced from a 4 way to 2 way stop 5. Bike & emergency vehicle friendly speed humps on the 2600 block and 2700 block of Guilford 6. Curb extensions on the southwest corner of North Ave & Guilford to provide for better bike & pedestrian protection 7. Widening the median crossing at North Ave from 6' to 12'. While two separate crossings for pedestrians and bicycles were preferred, the location of signal poles prevented this option. 8. Green sharrows on approaches to 33rd St crossing and green bike lanes on the 33rd St median crossing. 9. Wayfinding signs indicating destination, distance and direction 10. A white pavement marking to delineate the on-street parking from travel lanes Our consultants at Toole Design Group are putting together a map to help illustrate these improvements. I would like to meet after the New Year to give you a preview of the project. If you have any questions in the meantime, please let me know.
