Spring Break
City enacts new bike route network
Issue date: 2/21/08
When completed, it will encompass several major institutions in the city, including University of Maryland at Baltimore, University of Baltimore, MICA, Loyola, Notre Dame and Morgan State, in addition to Hopkins.
Around Hopkins, some trails are placed through Wyman Park and along North Charles Street. When the trails are finally completed, bikers will be able to ride from Homewood to the Inner Harbor without having to rely on public transportation.
In Charles Village, work on the trails has been completed but work elsewhere has been stalled due to weather conditions.
The hope is that the rest of the project will be completed by the spring of 2009 in all other locations.
"If you were a Hopkins student, we would like to see you be able to get from, say where your apartment is, to shopping, or from where your apartment is over to the campus," said Doug McCoach, Baltimore City planning director.
The Bicycle Master Plan is a part of the city's larger Comprehensive Master Plan, entitled "Live, Earn, Play, Learn."
It outlines strategies to improve the economy and the quality of life in the city over the next six years.
The Master Plan is broken down into more specific categories covering the maritime plan, the economic development plan, the transportation plan and the bicycle plan, among others.
