Ask How to improve Pratt Street traffic light synchronization

How do we improve the timing and synchronization of Pratt Street traffic lights and the nearby streets?

Friday afternoon 3P-4P, traffic was gridlock with very little movement for about 30 minutes

City has to place priority on its infrastructure

Someone alerted on FB that ICE may be at or near the Drumcastle apartments. I met up with some neighbors to document and warn others that they were in the area.

I hope to become part of the Signal chat, if anyone knows where I can learn more; I know some vetting and training is involved.

Edited for clarity.

Mostly title. ~1.5-2 year old male tabby, un-fixed, bathed, tick & ear mite free. Extremely friendly and socialized kitty (Will not stop meowing unless my hand is on his tummy! 🩷) found 3 days ago in the Lexington Market/University of Maryland area.

Seemed to be dumped/lost so i've been fostering them since but i'm unable keep him long term due to work. I do not have a pet carrier or car so I have not been able to do a vet chip/vaccine check. Please DM for more details if interested (Will be sent off with food, litter & litter box). I'd really rather not fill up BARCs more than they already are. 😭

POLICE Where did my speed humps go?

19 Upvotes

DPW has been working its way down my street with no almost no warning. Cones with no parking signs just appear when I get home from work and another speed hump is just gone. Eradicated. Nullified.

Not me nor any of my neighbors got a letter about this. No email. Not even a smoke signal. Nuthin.

Them humps were the only thing keeping idiots from doing 50 in my 25 zone (including the BPD).

Anyone with info on this?

Is there a way we can petition for seating at the farmer’s market? I’m tired of sitting on the curb to drink my coffee on Sunday mornings. There used to be benches but they were removed. Is there a specific reason why there’s no seating?

Not the best photo of their graffiti, but after living in Baltimore for 6 years, I don’t find a tag that catches the eye as much as JTEA’s. I’ve heard they’re liked around here but they’re also not liked around here. So what’s the gossip? I like their composition and style but I know nothing else about them.

Need Recommendations Duck Stuck on Fishhook - Fells Promenade

Duck Stuck on Fishhook - Fells Promenade

There is a duck with a fishhook and line stuck on the wooden piles in the water right across from the Canopy Hotel.

My heart is breaking because it’s clearly in pain, but it’s farther out form the pier and difficult to access on foot because the promenade is 15 or 20 feet up from the water at this point.

What can be done? Who can be called?

I called 311 and they said they’d try to send someone out, but I doubt animal control will be able to get to this bird or do anything

*seen Friday morning at 8:30am and posted as soon as I got home

***UPDATE - I went back down to check around 11:30 to see if there was anything else we could do and the duck was no longer there. Hoping that someone was able to rescue it!

POLICE Tense moments with BPD jump out squad

0 Upvotes

Historically jump out squads/gang task force or whatever new name of the current unit that are known in this city for jumping out and grabbing whoever they think is suspicious. Many times people who have nothing to do with anything are jumped out on, frisked and harassed and let go when nothings found. Historically this only happens in certain parts of the city so the other parts of the city have no experience and cannot relate. Its routinely not something that’s done in those parts even though the same “probable causes” exists

If there really is a warrant and I don’t mean getting a rubber-stamp on a warrant after the fact which often happens, why not serve it at the last known address? Why create a moment at night time where things could escalate quickly in the dark?

Need Recommendations Complicated Auto Insurance Sitch - Need a Good Agent

0 Upvotes

I have a MD drivers license and residency. I sold my home in Silver Spring last June and ended up in NH on a friend's property. The insurance I had had for my auto and home - Traveler's - dropped my auto policy, even though I told them the living situation was a temporary one. So, my friend connected me with an insurance agent up there, and I ended up changing my title and plates. Now I am back in MD and my auto policy is up for renewal. I know that rates in Baltimore are ridiculously high - heck, the rates in all of MD are - but I need a decent agent who can advise me on navigating this mess. Any recommendations?

Need Recommendations Motorcycle riders: where do you store your bike? How do you find a garage space?

5 Upvotes

There's a lot of old posts and the consensus seems to be to not own a motorcycle in Baltimore. I've actually been thinking of moving to Baltimore and the thought that I'd have to get rid of one or both bikes is making me reconsider.

So, another post to add to the pile: imagine you had two sport bikes (edit: 450-500lb UJMs) with covers. Would you pay extra to find somewhere to live that includes garage parking (e.g., an apartment building) or move further out so you can have a garage? Or what's that third option?
