My wife and I were just commenting that we noticed the scooters parked in the corrals more often. We used to laugh that the only place a scooter was never parked was in the corrals. Whatever you did, it seems to have worked. Can I ask, is BGE going to repave the streets in Fed Hill after they dug them up and did a laughingly bad job patching them up? Charles Street is a mess.

Yes, BGE is required to return the road to the state that it was before their work.

That's good to know. They have clearly stopped their work, and the patch jobs they did are atrocious. Is DOT in contact with them? Have they been told their work is unacceptable? It really seems like they think they're done. Thanks for the reply, btw.

We are! We hold them to task if they don’t do a good job.

Thank you so much! Please let them know all the work they did across Fed Hill is garbage, and they need to come back and repave everything. Btw, it's awesome you're active on here. It's easy to feel like the Baltimore City government doesn't care about anyone, this gives me some hope.

Thank you! We’re doing our best.

Not sure if this is what's happening but when they did my street (3ish years ago) they initially patched holes which were left for weeks and then came back and paved when they were done with a majority of the neighborhood.
I assume it's a lot more money and work to replace street by street then it is to wait and do multiple streets at once.

Yeah, they seem to have been done for a couple months now.

Could just be bad timing. Been too cold or too wet for a while. Might be stuck until late spring at this point.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Asphalt plants have probably shut down for the season (can't lay asphalt when it's too cold), so you might be waiting until spring at this point.

Even still, you can call now to get it on their list for first thing in spring. Their number is BG&E Customer Care Line at 1-800-685-0123.

If the road is not the way it’s supposed to be, you can also call the BG&E Customer Care Line at 1-800-685-0123. They will forward it to the correct team that handles pavement & restoration.

This isn't even remotely true. Take a 5 minute drive around south baltimore and you'll find roads that were torn up and never repaired to even close to a safe standard for cars let alone scooters or bikes.

They might need to wait until Spring for a real fix.

Is that why Ann and Wolfe Streets have been torn up since the summer?

I have never seen a job done so poorly. You can almost go airborn on some of the holes.
