2011-2014 TIP Amendment - Howard Street Revitalization

Howard Street Revitalization
Amendment to FY 2011-2014 Transportation Improvement Program

The Maryland Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Maryland Transit Administration, is requesting an amendment to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by adding funds to the existing Howard Street Revitalization project (Project ID #42-1004-39).

The Howard Street Revitalization project currently plans to relocate the southbound light rail train (LRT) station, north from Fayette to Lexington Street; remove and replace the four arch structures along Howard Street; and provide a pedestrian canopy along Lexington Mall from the Metro Station to relocated LRT station.

The $260,000 in new funding (FTA Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities Funds) would be used to replace worn out bus and light rail shelters along Howard Street.

The improvements in the Howard Street Revitalization project will aid in revitalization of the Howard Street corridor and improve pedestrian safety and access between transportation modes.
