Please be careful doing this!! Fiberglass contamination is a MAJOR issue and will contaminate the area you destroy this in. Fiberglass is in a lot of mattresses. This can cause major health issues and problems for those exposed.

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.

If only the harbor was swimmable, would be a GREAT idea to make it into a park like Sandlot used to be. When Sandlot was lost for that building, I feel like a community feel to the area went away and it became industrial again

Exactly. And honestly there are several young men in Baltimore who wear ski masks and don’t commit major crimes. I didn’t want to profile or accuse anyone without evidence.

Now that all of this has come to light in the news and happening frequently, I would report suspicious behavior and been more aware. And I would probably be taken more seriously. I honestly was in so much denial at the time because I wasn’t sure what the intention was.

As someone who has been a sexual assault victim, believe me when I say I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone.

I’m not the one committing violent crimes and they didn’t really commit any crime towards me, they just acted super suspicious.

I stated that I wish I had reported it. Blaming me doesn’t change what happened in the past, all it does is make me feel guilty about something I didn’t cause.

Maybe re-direct your anger towards the people doing this

They didn’t pull out any weapon on me, so I was still in denial about what had occurred. I knew something was really off and called my boyfriend because I was scared. I didn’t start really realizing the gravity of the situation until I had driven far away. Now I’d report right away, especially given current events.

I was an Uber driver from 2019-2021. I started driving again early in 2022. What caused me to quit was two teens almost carjacked me, they ordered me as an Uber comfort/waited 15 minutes for the ride. When I approached they were wearing black ski masks and then one of the teens pointed to my dash cam and whispered something to the other teen. They cancelled the ride and ate a $16 cancellation fee and went back into the building.

I ubered because my regular job didn’t make enough and I used the Uber money to supplement my grad school tuition costs. It was normally a great job and I even liked driving drunk people because they were so fun to chat with. I’d drive people into West Baltimore that worked in other parts of the city and they were some of the kindest and most genuine people I met.

The teens doing this, really ruin everything for the community. Eventually we will have no Uber drivers. I would have kept driving had I not encountered so many safety issues in Baltimore
