FAQs – Polluted Runoff and Fees POLLUTED RUNOFF IN BALTIMORE COUNTY Baltimore County contains the headwaters for many of the streams and tributaries feeding into the Patapsco River, one of the major rivers of the Chesapeake Bay. These tributaries include Bodkin Creek, Jones Falls, Gwynns Falls, Patapsco River Lower North Branch, Liberty Reservoir and South Branch Patapsco. Baltimore County is also home to the Gunpowder River, Middle River, and the Back River. Unfortunately, all of these streams and rivers are polluted by nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment and are considered “impaired” by the Maryland Department of the Environment, meaning the water quality is too low to support the water’s intended use. One major contributor to that pollution and impairment is polluted runoff. Polluted runoff contaminates our local rivers and streams and threatens local drinking water. Water running off of roofs, driveways, lawns and parking lots picks up trash, motor oil, grease, excess lawn fertilizers, pesticides, dog waste and other pollutants and washes them into the streams and rivers flowing through our communities. This pollution causes a multitude of problems, including toxic algae blooms, harmful bacteria, extensive dead zones, reduced dissolved oxygen, and unsightly trash clusters.

  • Baltlink Rider Guide-944004A2.Pdf
    WHAT IS BALTIMORELINK? BaltimoreLink is a complete overhaul and rebranding of the core transit system operating within Baltimore City and the surrounding region. Many of MTA’s current bus routes are outdated, and BaltimoreLink will improve service through a more reliable and efficient network. BaltimoreLink also includes transfer facilities, dedicated bus lanes, signal priority, and improved bus stop signs, among many other improvements. To deliver an interconnected transit network, existing MTA bus and rail services will be restructured and renamed: • CityLink: Twelve new high-frequency, color-coded bus routes will connect with each other, as well as Metro SubwayLink, Light RailLink, MARC Train, Commuter Bus, Amtrak, and other services, into one integrated transit network. • LocalLink (currently Local Bus): LocalLink routes will provide comprehensive crosstown connections and improved connections to neighborhoods and communities throughout the system. • Express BusLink (currently Express Bus): Express BusLink will include several existing Express Bus services that provide suburb-to- city connections and recently launched routes providing suburb-to-suburb connections. Typically, Express Bus routes have fewer stops and use higher speed roads. • Light RailLink (currently Light Rail): Light Rail service will operate along the same line but with improved connections to buses. • Metro SubwayLink (currently Metro Subway): This service will not change but will have improved connections to buses. baltimorelink.com | 1 BETTER BUS STOPS BALTIMORELINK RESOURCE INFORMATION To create a better rider experience by providing information you can use, the MTA will be All MTA routes will change under installing new bus stop signs throughout the BaltimoreLink. Please look for Rider Alerts for entire MTA bus network.

    When complete, the 35-mile Baltimore Greenway Trails Network will connect the city’s anchor institutions and destinations with Baltimore’s diverse communities. For more information, go to railstotrails.org/Baltimore. View and download a full map of the trail network route: rtc.li/baltimore_map-footprint. Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park to Middle Branch Park Western Loop Segment This mostly complete section of the loop heads southeast on the Gwynns Falls Trail from Gwynns Falls/Leakin park— one of the largest urban parks/forests in the country—to Middle Branch Park, with a further connection to Cherry Hill Park further south. On its way, it connects a number of historically significant neighborhoods and parks, the oldest railroad trestle in the country, the B&O Museum and roundhouse (the birthplace of the railroad in America), St. Agnes Hospital and many other historical destinations. Hanover Street Bridge to Canton Southern Loop Segment The loop segment extends from Hanover Street Bridge—on the southern side of the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River—north to Port Covington. A large- scale planning and redevelopment project at Port Covington for Under Armour’s world headquarters is Baltimore Department of Recreation and Parks Bike Around Program Photo by Molly Gallant underway, which will include public shoreline access and the connecting of both sides of the river via a disused railroad trestle.

LocalLink These operate on neighborhood streets between the CityLinks and form crosstown “rings.” Express BusLink These offer limited-stop service between outlying areas and downtown. In Spring 2016 an express beltway “ring” was also created for the first time ever! Components of a Frequent Transit Network New Frequent Service Current Frequent Service Dramatic Expansion in Accessibility (will remain under B-Link) The new network offers frequent service to 30% MORE PEOPLE across the region: note the new “spokes and rings” at right!

    7hstorr Trails Baltimore County Histrical Society Agriculture Building 9811 Van Buren Lane Cockeysville, Md. 21030 ISSN 0889-6186 Editors: JOHN W. McGRAIN and WILLIAM HOLLIFIEED VOL. 26 AUTUMN 1991-WINTER 1991-92 NO. 1 & NO. 2 The Romantic -ynn's Falls Valley George E. Tack Introduction The following article about the Gwynns Falls Valley appeared in the August 1907 issue of MarylandMonthly Magazine, published by Henry Quarles Nicholson. At that time, much of the Gwynns Falls Valley was in the city of Baltimore, acquired from the county as a result of the annexation of 1888. The county line was just west of the intersection of Franklintown and Wetheredville Roads. After Tack's article, in 1918, the boundary was again moved westward and more of the Gwynns Falls Valley, including the village of Dickeyville and Leakin Park, was incorporated into the city. George E. Tack was born in 1873 and lived most of his life, at least up to 1918, in West Baltimore. In 1900 he lived with his parents, two brothers, and a sister. His father, born in Germany, was a clerk. George was then a clerk for a steamship company. Baltimore directories show a variety of occupations for him: frame maker (1893), solicitor (1898-1900), painter (1901), nurse (1903), clerk (1910, 1913), and nurse (1916-1918). Interestingly, he was listed as a poet in 1911. His interest in poetry is reflected in his style of writing and his inclusion of Folger McKinsey's poem at the end of the Gwynns Falls Valley article. An example of his own poetry, about a winter rainbow over Glyndon, had appeared in Maryland Monthly Magazine earlier in 1907.
