Reply to comment by EthanSayfo in Amtrak shares renderings of rebuilt Baltimore Penn Station by DfcukinLite

Theres an underground parking garage at the station + a surface lot + parking garage located a half a block away on Charles at the 1700 block in Station North between Metro Gallery and Club 1722.

Theres ample parking, more than there needs to be at a centrally located transit hub such as Penn Station. Can’t wait for the infill development that should happen around Mount Vernon and station north once this is finished to convert all the surface lots near by into something productive and adds to the tax base.

I’m very excited for this project. it’s going to be a game changer for central Baltimore and mount Vernon/station north

Im happy theyre removing some of this unnecessary parking. I agree that the lot is more than enough. That lot across the tracks is expensive and heavily underutilized anyways

I am so happy to hear the parking lot is going away! It is such an eye sore and the area around Penn Station overall really needs to become more pedestrian friendly. This is a great step towards revitalizing the city.
