Just over $1 billion in transportation projects and improvements are being proposed in the Draft 2011-2014 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Baltimore region, recently released for review. 

What's in the Draft TIP?

• Bridge and highway preservation - Approximately 61% of the funding in this draft TIP is for these type of projects. Examples include the addition of one lane northbound on US 29 between Seneca Drive and MD 175 and an extension of Danville Street in a former CSX right-of-way to support freight movement near the Port.

• Projects that benefit biking and walking including: North Avenue Streetscape, improvements to the neighborhood around the West Baltimore MARC station, and the reconstruction, with bike compatible features, of the US 40 bridge over the Patapsco River and US 1 bridge over the Little Gunpowder Falls.

• Transit improvements include MARC parking expansion at the Aberdeen station, mid-life overhaul of Light Rail and Metro vehicles and replacement buses for MTA and the local bus systems.

Let the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) know what you think about the air quality report and these proposed projects at a public meeting on June 8 or share your thoughts online. Comments are welcome through Tuesday, June 22.
