NORTH AVENUE RISING

North Avenue Rising, completed in June 2022, was a project that grew from local community planning efforts with collaboration by the state of Maryland and Baltimore City. The goal of North Avenue Rising was to support economic revitalization along North Avenue through increased mobility and to broaden access for residents of the corridor to economic opportunity throughout Baltimore. The project proposed the following investments at various locations along North Avenue to: sidewalk improvements, dedicated bus lanes supported by transit signal priority, enhanced bus stops, roadway repaving, and bikeshare parking. The project also proposed bike boulevards on Baker Street and 20th Street, as well as renovations to the Penn/North Metro SubwayLink station.
