Master Plan Leads to Major Transportation Project.

The Greater Roland Park Master Plan, which was approved by the Baltimore City Planning  Commission last year,called for many street improvements to make the community more walkable and bikeable, and now the Master Plan Implementation Team, a committee of the Roland Park Civic League (RPCL), is making these improvements happen.

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation (DOT) is designing a major street resurfacing project—estimated to cost $3.5 million—for Roland Avenue from Northern Parkway to Cold Spring Lane. For the past several months, the Master Plan Implementation Team has been working with the DOT,establishing which improvements can be included in the project. That list is now complete and is being evaluated for engineering feasibility by a consulting engineer.
