NEW CHARM CITY CIRCULATOR!

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation and the Charm City Circulator team are excited to about the launch of the new Banner route. This new route will run between the Inner Harbor and Fort McHenry. It is slated to launch in Summer 2012, in time for the War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. Additionally, we hope that this route will serve as a connection between housing, employment, attractions, restaurants, and retail at the Inner Harbor, along Key Highway, in Locust Point, and through to Fort McHenry.

We would like to invite you to a community open house to discuss the alignment and stop placements of this new route. This open house will be held on Monday, February 13, 6 - 8 pm at the Baltimore Metropolitan Council offices in McHenry Row at 1500 Whetstone Way, #300, Baltimore MD 21230.
