Dear Pedestrians and Friends,

I suggest you forward this to anyone you know who would be affected by a
roundabout the city wants to establish at the intersection of Key and
Light Streets. The workshop is Hosted by Mark R. Brown of Baltimore City
to explain this idea, and "guests" include folks like Anna Epsilantis
who runs Big Jim's Deli in Cross Street Market. She and other merchants
are against the plan because it is not pedestrian-friendly.  Me too,
same reason, and because they are not very driver-friendly either.  As
anyone notices who drives or walks the roundabout on York Road in
Towson-the one with the big Celtic cross in the center).

 

I do not see a pedestrian bridge over the roundabout in the architect's
drawing and I think in this economy none would be built until after a
few pedestrians are killed.  All those stairs up and back down would not
be very pedestrian-friendly either. This workshop is designed as a way
to get the neighborhoods and the city to buy the idea.  Anyone can
attend the workshop whether or not one marks the online "invitation"
linked to the announcement below.  If you cannot attend the "workshop"
you can leave a comment there for the city spokesperson, Mark R. Brown.
You can also find his email address on the invitation.
