Abstract:

This report desribes the transportation, demographic, environmental and land use conditions in the Northwest Corridor of Baltimore City and Baltimore County prior to the opening of Metro. These data were collected to represent the "before" conditions existing prior to startup of revenue service on November 21, 1983. This paper documents the work performed by the three major contributing agencies: the Regional Planning Council, Mass Transit Administration, and Baltimore City Department of Planning. All work was performed in accordance with an overall, multi-year work plan (Section A Metro Impact Study Work Program, August, 1982) which reflects work activities over the period spanning the "before" and "after" phases on Section A operation. The Section A Metro rapid rail line serves the Northwest area of Baltimore City and is about 8 miles in length. The line serves a study impact corridor whose population density is 8,900 persons/sq. mile compared to the regional average of 975 persons/sq. mile. According to the 1980 Census, thirty-eight percent of the households in this area have no vehicles available; the regional average is 18%. In 1980, the median family income in the study area was $13,693 while the regional median was $21,826. The 1980 Census also indicates that 28% of the trips to work in the study area were by bus, while the regional total showed a 12% transit mode split.
