WEST READ STREET MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
TYSON STREET ASSOCIATION
HOWARD READ ASSOCIATION
Mike Bauer, Representative
Ladies and Gentlemen of the City Council of Baltimnre:
The time of decision has come for all of you. A day you must
decide if the citizens, your constituents, need have a boulevar d
system laid before their doorstep against their will. It has been
clearly heard, time and again, that the majority of the citizens
do ~ want or need this roadway system. It has also been clear
that the only proponent that has come forward in defense of the
proposed system has been the Greater Baltimore Committee. most
members of which live in the surrounding counties~
It is hard to see the benefits offered to the city dweller
in a I1Six Lane People Hazard. " It will disturb and uproot
several thousand reSidents, will do nothing but increase the new
very dangerous levels of air and noise pollution, and will
seriously hinder the growth of any remaining communities. The
roadway our city planners propose is clearly for the convenience
of the 9 to 5 suburbanite commuter and does not offer any real
convenience to the city dweller.
\\'e lay before you a chance to save our city from its
dwindling residential popUlation. Offer us the challenge to
rebuild and refurbish as many neighborhoods as can be saved.
To restore the uniqueness of the very old and regain our reputa_
tion for having a real sense of neighborhood living, is not at
all an unworthy community project to resurrect the pleasures of
downtown living.
We, the members of the community of Baltimore, have come
at your invitation to express once again our opposition to the
entire boulevard system.
Your task is obvious to us. Repealing the c~ndemnatien
lines that have played such a large part in the disintegration
of the neighborhood structure, and have added to the promotion
of a poor situation in the area of crime, will be the first real
step to building for a better Baltimore.
Once and for all let us close the door to this deplorable
situation and get about the business of putting the pieces of
our city back together again.
