The proposed Red Line is a 10.5 mile east-west corridor connecting the Woodlawn area of Baltimore County, Edmondson Village in Baltimore City, West Baltimore communities, downtown Baltimore and the communities in the vicinity of the Inner Harbor East and Fells Point/Patterson Park. | In addition, the Red Line would provide service connecting to Baltimore's existing transit system—Metro Subway, Light Rail and MARC lines and would serve major employers such as the Social Security Administration, the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), and the downtown Central Business District. The western portion of the Red Line study area consists of suburban type residential, shopping and office park land uses. The study area continues through downtown and Fells Point/Patterson Park areas and includes Baltimore row-house communities, the downtown business district, and the redeveloping residential and commercial areas in Inner Harbor East. If you have any questions please contact Jeff Mayhew at 410 887-3480.
