Would love it if they had a "European" street. But we aren't that creative in Baltimore.

I’m not sure! They weren’t specific. The Bank of America on that block closed in the fall, maybe they owned it?

No? Maybe people just don't know about the skate park, the rotunda garage, and the park side of beech st. Just walk a little bit and there are always spots lol. If anything there should be LESS parking.

I think the meters help the situation. People would park on the Avenue indefinitely if not for the meters.

I'd be curious to see what Hampden people have to say about the idea. I'd bet parking is probably one of the biggest drawbacks to living in that neighborhood.

Are Wells Liquors and the Wine Source owned by the same people?

I'd rather quit while we agree.

Ok fair I misspoke to a degree. So what alternatives to law enforcement would you use to stop heroin and meth dealers from dealing drugs in the city?

>Please stop telling OP to mind their business or suggesting alternatives that don't involve law enforcement.

Few years?

You live in south west baltimore. I’ve seen some prosperity and business move into the area up to union square but that area has been a hot spot for a long time.

Union Square is basically the new line drawn with drug activity bleeding through.

It is hectic starting 1 block away up to westside shopping center.

Good luck dude.

Is it still called James Bond or 007? Kodak? I think I almost died in a vacant on Pratt and Calhoun. Good times.

I never said we should, read what I said again.

> Law enforcement obviously isn't the only answer, but an integral part of the solution.

Then we agree we shouldn't exclude alternatives. Great! Pretty much everything else you wrote is taking issue with stuff I never said.

You don’t have to be in there a long time for things to get pretty jammed up. The lot in front of their door has maybe 5 spots and is routinely full. The leased spaces are often near capacity at busy times.

Houses without setbacks are magic, we need more of them.

Do you think a council person isn't going to involve law enforcement? There are many alternatives that can and will use law enforcement to get these people out of OP's neighborhood. Law enforcement obviously isn't the only answer, but an integral part of the solution. OP shouldn't be afraid of or ashamed to use them. And I am not some back the blue bootlicker. I do believe that cops cause a lot of problems more often than they should. But heroin and meth dealers have a special place in hell and should have every available resource used against them to take them down.

Edit: Please don't use a subreddit with less than 25% of the city's population as evidence for anything. That is highly anecdotal and truly means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

You realize people live in the neighborhood, right? And surely history shows the constant expansion of car infrastructure never has any unintended consequences?

the fact that there aren't any physical machines to pay cash and the website is super broken (and i don't want to give a parking company my email???) is also the worst!! i almost got a ticket while sitting in my car and fighting with their site because they've got parking attendants who circle like sharks bc of ekiben pickups

So you really want to do something about it, right? Why take options off the table? Again, the police pretty clearly have not been enough to address this.

and has speed bumps

Charles village/ waverly is a good spot. Maybe some parts of Hamilton/lauraville though it’s more of a suburban feel with larger lots and homes, so slightly less walkable. Hampden, maybe Bolton hill or station north though not as familiar with walkable amenities/ shops etc over there

I heard they were condemned for whatever reason and needed to be demolished either way. So the alternative would be complete rebuilds i guess.

Because fuck drug dealers that's why. They are a blight on my city and take advantage of vulnerable people suffering from addiction.

I feel like most people just run into wine source quickly. No one needs to park for a long time there

Other plans as in they’re planning on building something there or what?

The Balt-Wash region as a whole suffers from lacking 24/7 transit in key areas.

Pedestrianization doesn’t necessarily mean busses would cease to use it. Some places just will close the street to private traffic or only allow it in certain hours (such as having only certain hours for deliveries).
