Mayor Brandon M. Scott kicked off National Bike to Work Week with a new commitment: 17 new miles of bike lanes across Baltimore over the next three years.

Baltimore currently has just under 300 miles of bike lanes, with more planned through the Greenway Trails Network, a 35 mile loop that will directly link more than 75 neighborhoods across the city.

Since 2019, dockless vehicles including e-scooters, e-bikes, and adaptive vehicles have become an integral part of Baltimore's transportation infrastructure. More than 3 million trips were taken on rentable scooters and e-bikes last year, nearly double the previous record set in 2019.

Crews cleared trash and overgrowth from alleys, removed stickers from traffic signs, towed abandoned vehicles, and hauled out bulk debris block by block.

We are proud of the DOT crews, parking enforcement, towing, and sanitation teams, and the DPW crews who showed up and did the work. A lot of what got addressed on Friday started with 311 reports from residents.

Keep them coming.
