***UPDATE*** October 9, 2010 – Meeting Minutes | Baltimore Red Line Technical Analysis, Costs, and Proposed Locations
Last evening, I attended the first Station Area Advisory Committee (SAAC) meeting regarding the planning of the proposed Baltimore Red Line. Discussion involved the following topics:
- city vs state responsibility of maintaining public issues, such as lighting, cleanliness, and noise level of station
- suggested improvements for pedestrian safety and possible relocation of the proposed location, corner of Boston St & Kenwood Ave
- replacing bus routes of #11 and 13 lines? connections with other bus routes?
- data regarding expected ridership… will there be underutilization?
- stop lights – ability to extend stop lights due to heavy passenger loading; major issue with existing line is that the light rail does not have right of way esp in the section between howard st and camden yards
- connection with Circulator
- gather input from community (schools, churches, rec centers, businesses)
