Sustainability Plan

On May 27th a kick-off meeting was held to initiate the planning process for the Baltimore City Sustainability Master Plan. The plan will be an amendment to Baltimore ’s Comprehensive Plan, and will serve as a guide for environmentally responsible development in the city for years to come. Led by the Office of Sustainability, this planning effort will include a broad range of stakeholders and will create goals, indicators and targets which will be meaningful to policy makers as well as citizens.

The Sustainability Master Plan planning process is divided into 6 Working Groups; Energy & Air, Water, Waste, Green Infrastructure, Built Environment and Transportation. Each of these groups will hold 3 public meetings to discuss vision statements, goals, indicators and targets.

We want to invite you to the upcoming public meeting for the Transportation Group:

Thursday, August 21, 2008
Transportation Community Conversation
Orleans St. Public Library ( 1303 Orleans St .)
5:45 to 7:45 p.m.

During this meeting, we will discuss transportation goals, objectives, and indicators to measure the city’s progress in achieving a more sustainable transportation network. We look forward to seeing you there.
