Reply to Excessively High Gas Bill: Anyone Else? And recourse suggestions. by llaatteennccyy

First time homeowner in Gwynn Oak. I just saw my online bill, and almost had a heart attack. Billing period, Dec 17 -Jan 27 gas alone was $356. Electric was $121. A little over 2000 square feet. Is this the average for everyone else? I keep the stat around 70-73. (After reading the comments, I will do my best to keep it at 70.)

Reply to We plan to permanently close the alley between N Bond St & N Broadway, as it is too narrow for vehicle traffic. If you oppose the closure, you must inform our office by calling 443-984-2150 or emailing Traffic.Calming@BaltimoreCity.gov within 7 days. by BmoreCityDOT

I live off Hakesley, haha. Somehow BARELY managed to get a U-Haul through there. It was a big giant nightmare.

One of my neighbors told me that the house you see in that photo posted actually was built well after that alley, and protrudes already too much into it because they also installed those poles people constantly hit. That house basically brought it on themselves Not saying it's wrong or right, I'm literally moving out of here soon

Baltimore DOT being active on this sub is really cool and I wish more city agencies would do this. Feels like an actual effort to engage with regular people and get them more involved in your programs.

We have a bollard installed near our house too for this exact reason. We’ve still had cars knock stuff off our house and what not. Is there a minimum width an alley needs to be for vehicle travel?

Have you had a radon test done? A vast majority of Baltimore city has very low radon levels. I've never heard of anyone needing a mitigation system in the city. It's generally not an issue until you head further west and north.

Reply to comment by z3mcs in Would be awesome if the JFX and Jones Falls river could be converted like this by Cunninghams_right

There are groups in Baltimore like Bikemore and Strong Towns that have been working on this stuff. OP should reach out and get involved with like minded people.

And I love the JFX posts, but that will have to come in the next phase. We need better transit options to the city first. Advocate for the North/south line on york road, and for TODs at the light rail stops.
