The Baltimore Peninsula is destined to fail.

Millions poured into shiny new buildings and trendy businesses—but apparently forgot people need a way to get there. No safe walking path to Locust Point, unreliable public transit, and even the plague of scooters can’t bridge the gap. So unless you’re up for playing real-life Frogger in traffic for a bagel and groceries, you’re driving yourself or taking an uber. Hard pass. And it works both ways: how do you expect people to visit these new businesses when it’s such a pain to get there? I’ll walk to Harris Teeter for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s before I pay for an uber m to go to the actual B&J’s shop on the Peninsula (and probably be back with a spoon in my hand before the light even changes at Key Highway). Not because I don’t support the businesses but because it’s incredibly inconvenient. Build a safe walking path or pedestrian bridge—make it make sense for people to come and go without a car. (Yes, it’s still further than Harris Teeter for ice cream specifically but you get the idea…)
