How is the MTA planning to ensure the Red Line is accessible to pedestrians?
In the planning for the Red Line it is assumed that a large portion of future riders will walk to and from the stations. This requires good, comfortable and safe pedestrian routes from neighborhoods, places of work and attractions to the stations. The first goal is to place stations at locations that are within walkable distance to major transit origins and destinations. Where improvements in the pedestrian connections to a station are needed, they will be implemented in partnership with Baltimore City, Baltimore County and the State Highway Administration or potentially with private partners. “Walkability” is a broad goal that needs broad support to be successful. Suggestions for walkability improvements in communities can be made throughout the planning stage.
