BRTB Seeks Comments on Two Projects
February 23, 2010 (Baltimore, MD) – The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) has received separate requests from the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the City of Baltimore to amend projects in the Transportation Outlook 2035, the Long-Range Transportation Plan, and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
MDOT’s request is to shift federal funds from intersection improvements at Aberdeen Proving Ground to improvements at the intersection of US 40 (Pulaski Highway) and MD 715. This project includes some widening along both US 40 and MD 715 and will improve traffic flow through the intersection.
Baltimore City asks that New Vail Street be extended approximately 1,200 feet north from Keith Avenue to the Chesapeake Commerce Center. The Chesapeake Commerce Center is a 184-acre warehouse/distribution and light industrial park now under development. This project would reduce commercial vehicle traffic on Broening Highway, Dundalk Avenue and Holabird Avenue.
A public review period will be held through Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Public meetings in Baltimore City and Harford County will be held upon request to discuss the projects and accept public comments. Requests for a meeting will be accepted until February 26, 2010.
Comments may also be given at the BRTB meeting on Tuesday, March 23.
