Damn. It was so nice the grass was growing and the deciduous trees had leaves in February. Wtf

Can we get some of these on East 23rd St please? We've asked and been shot down before. Our hood isn't as fancy as this one...

Wait, a member of the Baltimore City government lying? This is shocking news.

Did you just happen upon a random picture of people driving equipment? This picture was absolutely not taken last week. I'd be surprised if it was even Bellona Ave.

Don't get too offended. If you ever go to a city council meeting, you'll quickly discover that speed bump requests are the reason about 25% of the people are there.

I can only imagine it's gotten more pronounced since city police have taken traffic stops out of the equation.

I like the split speed bumps that allow bikes to go through easier, but anything that slows cars down to a safe speed is good.

I’d even want the split bigger. Speed bumps suck on motorcycles, but the tires can be fatter than those.

I think motorcycles also drive dangerously in the city. though I guess it would be quieter if they just rode smoothly instead of slowing and accelerating.

I'm quote sure this isn't Bellona. Also, I realized today that Bellona intersects Charles St. at 4 different places (practically 3, but technically 4)

😂😂😂

A choice few drive like dicks.

The vast majority of motorcycle riders ride as carefully as possible. It’s the vast majority because the ones that don’t ride carefully die.

Heros at work

everyone in portland just drives through the gaps on those though, which makes for odd traffic patterns.

This is a tough look DOT. Credibility?

Gotta make sure those proper neighborhoods get what all neighborhoods deserve , but make sure they get them first. 😉

I drive on Bellona Ave from the county all the way to where it ends on York road. I drove this route four times last week on my way to work. Not once did the speed bumps change.

This is so bizzarre. Unless this is an auto post why are you saying this took place last week? This has to have taken place MONTHS ago based on 1. The fact the driver is in a tank. 2. The trees and grass looking like it’s summer 3. You’re the city so you weren’t putting speed bumps in where the county is —- meaning there’s a specific corridor on Bellona where these can be.

It would be nice if DOT would focus on/try to fix the issues caused by the bus lane on York road and how it is increasing commute times and dangerous driving by people who are speeding to “skip the line” and then aggressively cut in later.

> I'm quite sure this isn't Bellona.

I used to live on Bellona - this aint it. Bellona has a double yellow line the from beginning to end, and this looks like a one way street somewhere in Waverly.

This pic looks like it was taken in the summer also, so probably just some random stock photo from DOT's archives.

Where is the 4th intersection? I can only think of 3 (two by the beltway and the one by the Scool Sisters of Notre Dame).

There's a reason I said technically lol

They also pay the highest taxes, ya know.

TIL Bellona exists in a biodome.

The nicest single family neighborhoods may pay "more" per house, but they certainly don't pay their fair share and are less tax productive than any given rowhouse in Hoes Heights, for example.

Pretty sure this is the same crew who shat the bed under the BMore_Healthy moniker.

The question is why post this? Why go to the trouble of posting an image they know is misleading, and crafting the post to draw attention to it? They had a decent story to tell... and yet they chose to undermine their credibility with a pointless lie.

It's a little thing and largely inconsequential. But most big things are made of lots of little things. And on social media, credibility is currency.

Can you guys put the leaves back on the trees in my neighborhood next?

So besides the controversy, why are we doing speed bumps rather than continuous sidewalks? They accomplish the same result, just one also is safer for pedestrians where pedestrians are.

that particular one isn't correct. the gaps should not be spaced at typical tire width.

Nice work! I would like to see pedestrian crosswalks painted or repainted and better signage stating that stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks is the law.

That bmore healthy thing was unbelievable. Just straight up lying about vaccine hesitancy. Now every time I see a post from a ”verified” city employee, all I can do is look for the BS. It was soo easy to spot this time. Sad and shameful

that may be so, but I can say for sure people driving on SE stark definitely cheat past the speed bumps 😅

whatever happened to that account?

There is a great parable in the Bible (whether or not you’re into that, it’s applicable) that instructs that those that are not trustworthy in small matters can’t be trustworthy in big matters.

Our apologies, we had asked our road crews to send us photos of work they were doing, and these old photos must have been sent by mistake.

Our apologies.

Thank you! All these can be requested on the 311 app.

Lol the 3 days later reply

Yes, we are off for the weekends.

Off for the weekends but work till 10:30 during the week. Gotta love that city schedule.

Yes, and we were off for President's Day too. We had to be up late to get this emergency notice up.
