A neighborhood group wanted the city to delay removing Roland Avenue’s cycle track. Its president told officials differently.
In one of her final official acts as mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh on March 29 all but sealed the fate of Roland Park’s controversial cycle track when she announced its removal, deeming it “just not a good bicycle facility” that needed to be taken out.
