Biden administration awards $6 million for improvements at Penn Station in Baltimore

Maryland will receive $6 million to fund improvements at Baltimore’s Penn Station, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced Thursday. The money will go toward creating new bus-only lanes on North Charles Street, adding curb additions at bus stops along North Charles and St. Paul streets, and making other curb improvements near the station. Other changes meant to improve connectivity for walkers and bicyclists include a secure space for bike parking, traffic light and crosswalk improvements on North Charles and St. Paul, new bridge railings, work on the Jones Falls Trail, interactive kiosks and public plaza improvements.
