ROLE

Urban Design Lead

The Red Line is a proposed 14-mile east-west light-rail transit line connecting the areas of Woodlawn, Edmondson Village, West Baltimore, downtown Baltimore, Inner Harbor East, Fells Point, Canton, and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Campus. As part of the Red Line FEIS/PE team, KGP served as the urban design lead for the planning. Additionally, KGP helped shape and serve as the facilitator for the Red Line's Station Area Advisory Committee (SAAC) process.

As urban design lead, KGP acted as a resource for the public and the professional project team to reach a vision that capitalized on introducing the new transit line to enhance community fabric. KGP's tasks involved reviewing all stations on the alignment for station access and integration into the surrounding communities while also providing targeted recommendations to improve these connections as needed. This work encompassed the station areas and the corridors between the stations that act as the connective tissue between the transit and the neighborhoods. KGP studied and designed the two significant street-running portions of the alignment and proposed streetscape enhancements for these crucial corridors.

KGP's work also included preparing station area urban design and TOD concepts for stations where either community input or developer interest had indicated a particular desire for redevelopment. Products from these tasks included drawings and rendering packages of ideas for the station area design, streetscape improvements, and potential transit-oriented development.
