On West Saratoga Street in Baltimore City, eight abandoned properties are being demolished. Each tumbling brick brings a glimmer of hope to the city.
“They’ve been a blight on the community, said Steven Preston, the Park Design and Construction Manager for the non-profit Parks and People. “Certainly not something you want to see as a gateway to this wonderful street.”
This is the second phase of a project that started in 2019 that is transitioning half of the 1800 block of W. Saratoga Street into a park.
“This truly is a catalytic effect, not just in a visual perspective, but a physical perspective,” said Preston.
This park is just a fraction of the 27 acres of park space that Parks and People have brought to life over the past seven years. Bringing a park to 87,500 residents who may not have access to one before.
Did Baltimore decide to “take on” this project after Kim Klacik EXPOSED the dirty doings of the current money hungy politicians that have turned their backs for so long ????
