It has long been a discussion... but nothing more than that unfortunately. Baltimoreans on the east side came close to such idea becoming a reality but no one knows exactly how to do it.
I'm talking about the lonely Metro Subway line that was once supposed to be a contributing part to the Baltimore Rapid Transit Network of the 1970s. One of six lines proposed to cover much of each corner of the greater Baltimore area and funnel right into downtown but such efforts were denounced by public resistance. Maybe they love express buses too much (I like buses tho...) but that's not the point. In the late 1970s, city & county officials were finally able to come to an agreement to begin such venture on Baltimore's rapid transit network, and in 1983, the Northwest line was complete between Owings Mills (suburbs) and Charles Center (downtown).
Surely, the rest would be completed by 198... ?... Okay. we're in 1995 and the metro got extended to Johns Hopkins Hospital, surely the rest would be complete in 199... ??... Okay! SURELY the rest would be... BRUH!!... What happened!?!...
Well, a whole bunch of red flags happened. Political?... maybe. Economical?... sure. Environmental?... probably. All we know is that the metro subway has been the forgotten child of what was supposed to be a major source to Baltimore's economical prowess that never came to be. Besides in 1995 with the extension by two stops in the east side, the metro subway has since been left to run "lonely."
Again, discussion have brought up expanding the metro subway beyond it's present terminus in to the transit deprived east side but no one knows how to do it?... Where do you go?... How much would it cost?... ... ...I think that it partly the reason why. The cost to do such projects regarding heavy rail (metro) have ballooned in past 20-30 years that anything beyond a mile is a death sentence to legislature and municipalities.
Trust and believe, some like this I am proposing isn't gonna be cheap; especially when we talk about digging or tunneling or moe-hunting below a city, but this proposed route is the 'cheapest' solution you can get to "possibly" expanding the metro subway further into East Baltimore.
The route beyond the present day terminus of Johns Hopkins Hospital would see the metro continuing underground -- north -- along the corridors of Broadway; Harford Road; and Hillen Road for 2.25 miles, then finally! The metro would rise to the surface. At 33rd/34th Streets (near Lake Montebello), there would be a tunnel portal leading the trains to the surface on journey northeast. This would see the 'northbound lanes' of Hillen Road/Perring Parkway converted into a right-of-way for the metro subway. Linking to Morgan State University and numerous communities in northeast Baltimore; but most importantly, feeding into the Interstate 695 Beltway in Parkville. With connections to a state-funded university and giving motorists residing in the Towson; Parkville; and the overwhelming numbers coming from Harford County, the extension could; and would, prove crucial to Baltimore's development both economically and environmentally. The eco footprint from vehicular traffic in the northeast would quite possibly decrease to eyebrow raising figures as now a more quicker and less hectic source of transportation. Though it would cost somewhere close to $7 billion, the figures would speak for itself. We'll never know until we try it!...
