  • Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21
    Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21 On January 21, 2021, more than 60 legislators attended the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s virtual legislative reception. They were invited to share some of their favorite outdoor spots in their districts and throughout Maryland. Their contributions were so wonderful that we were asked to compile them and send them to attendees. As Senate President Bill Ferguson said, “Our parks are those spaces that bring Marylanders together to get that fundamental belief in love of family, of friends, of each other.” “Our 6,400 parks and green spaces are a great way to boost your mental and overall health” added House Speaker Adrienne Jones.” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeanne Haddaway-Riccio reminded us all how diverse Maryland is, and we see this in the list of favorite spots below. Below is YOUR list! The sites on the list below are not exhaustive, but were those suggested by legislators and guests present that evening as places they visit to get outdoors and feel refreshed and recharged. The entries include a word or two about the site, at times thoughts from your colleagues, the name of the legislator suggesting the site, and a website for more information. You can visit by yourself or call up your colleagues and ask for a personal tour! Anne Arundel County B&A Trail, great for walking, biking, rollerblading, and more, stretches from Boulters Way in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station (ca. 1889) is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises.

  • Turning Baltimore's Trails Into a Network Could Bring Charm City a Near-Term
    Jones Falls Trail in Baltimore by charmcity123 licensed under Creative Commons. The Baltimore Greenways Trail Network is a relatively new idea. Other projects working their way through Maryland’s transportation pipeline, including the Purple Line, the cancelled Baltimore Red Line, the Corridor Cities Transitway, and the Southern Maryland Rapid Transit Project, each 1 of 10 1/2/2021, 12:05 PM date back decades. But the Baltimore Greenway, a proposed 35-mile network of urban trails ringing almost the entirety of Baltimore City, only dates back four or five years — Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s earliest planning meetings for the project launched toward the end of 2015. But despite its newness, the trail network, spearheaded by a coalition with more than 40 stakeholder members, has a key advantage: it’s already almost done. It would only take 10 more miles of trails — about $28 million — to complete the 35-mile network, which would link up to 75 neighborhoods and could come with millions of dollars in economic and social benefits. A new report by consulting firm Ernst & Young, commissioned by the Greater Washington Partnership (GWP), argues that the Baltimore Greenways Trail Network has the potential to not only bring countless benefits to the city, but also to do so sooner than any major transit project proposed in Central Maryland. The Greenway would be quick to complete because the concept makes use of already existing trails, including: The Gwynns Falls Trail, which originates in Baltimore’s largest park, Leakin Park, and has run about 15 miles along the Gwynns Falls river since 1998; The Jones Falls Trail, a 9-mile path, under various bits of construction since 1999, which runs north-south alongside Baltimore’s Jones Falls River from the Mt.

    PLANNING COMMISSION Wilbur E. “Bill” Cunningham, Chairman Stephanie Rawlings-Blake Thomas J. Stosur Mayor STAFF REPORT Director August 5, 2010 REQUEST: Herring Run Park Master Plan RECOMMENDATION: Approval and Adoption STAFF: William Doane, Jr. PETITIONERS: Department of Recreation and Parks OWNER: Mayor and City Council – Department of Recreation and Parks. SITE/ GENERAL AREA General Area: The Herring Run is a stream which originates with tributaries north into Baltimore County and ends by flowing into the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore County to the south. Herring Run passes through Mt. Pleasant Golf course, then next to Morgan State University, then through Herring Run Park, finally back out to county and the bay. Herring Run Park’s 375 acres lie in the stream valley of the Herring Run in the former countryside areas north of the original Baltimore City limits. Site Conditions: Herring Run Park is a linear park that passes through several neighborhoods, and that has very different conditions and opportunities in different sections. Residential uses front onto much of the park perimeter. The park is also intersected by several major and minor roads, including Harford Road, Belair Road, Sinclair Avenue, Mannasota Avenue, and Brehms Lane. The park is generally divided into three sections from northwest to southeast; the Upper, Middle, and Lower. The Upper section is adjacent to the following neighborhoods: Mayfield, Lauraville, Arcadia, and Belair-Edison. It includes the Hall Springs gateway area entrance, Father Hooper field area, and several mature woodlands. This section is close to Lake Montebello and Morgan State University. The Middle Section lies between Belair Road and Sinclair Lane, adjacent to the following neighborhoods: Parkside, Belair-Parkside, and Belair-Edison.

  • Bike Tour: Wyman Park to Herring Run and Neighborhoods
    Bike Tour: Wyman Park to Herring Run and Neighborhoods The Olmsted Brothers firm, successors to Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., left an indelible mark on Baltimore. This included their 1904 study “Report Upon the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore” (known as the “1904 Report”) which lays out a vision of an expanded and interconnected park system for the City. Parks were not just for recreation or enjoyment of nature, but could be used to protect the City’s drinking water, preserve ecological and cultural areas like the stream valleys, and serve as a framework for guiding new development as the City grew out from its historic core, including future neighborhoods like Original Northwood and Guilford, also laid out by the Olmsted Brothers. The Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) Bike Tour: Wyman Park to Herring Run and Neighborhoods traces several of the parks, park connections, and neighborhoods that were planned and designed by the Olmsted Brothers. In addition to highlighting the Olmsted legacy, the tour also visits other historic, cultural, and scenic points of interest that make this area unique – from municipal water systems to public gardens to former sport fields. Educating people about the legacy of the Olmsteds as part of the City’s history, introducing people to places they may have never visited, and celebrating the beauty and quirkiness of Baltimore is why FMOPL organizes tours like this one. As an organization we are committed to advancing the Olmsted legacy of accessible public parks, sustainable landscapes, and livable communities—respecting and protecting the accomplishments of the past and seeking relevant solutions for the challenges of today.

    Chapter 3 Executive Summary Hazard Assessment Monument Street Sinkhole, Baltimore City Source: Baltimore Sun HAZARD ASSESSMENT 49 Identifcation and Profle of Current Natural Hazards in Baltimore City The process of identifying hazards included a variety of considerations and sources. The Federal Emergency Executive Summary Management Agency (FEMA) and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) provided Baltimore City with a preliminary list of natural hazards for this assessment. Based on historical data, as well as information provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the State regarding anticipated climate impacts, city planners developed a draft list of hazards for consideration. Members of the Advisory Committee also provided input with regard to analysis of NOAA climate and weather data as recorded in the past 100 years. This was used as a baseline for comparison to changes in local climate projected to occur over the next Destruction from Hurricane Agnes -Howard County Source: Lloyd Pearson 25 to 50 years.
