Opinion: It’s time to build the Red Line and other equitable transportion options in Baltimore

I make my way through Baltimore’s Little Italy to catch the Shot Tower metro to Johns Hopkins Hospital. It’s a quick walk — maybe 10 minutes to the station. From there, I wait for the next available train and then ride the subway one stop to the hospital. All in all, the journey takes about 20 minutes in the morning. Although I have a car, keeping my parking spot to sit in traffic, drive a few miles and navigate through a parking garage isn’t worth the hassle.
