Whereas, the City Council recognizes the significant need for reinvestment and revitalization of neighborhoods and community spaces in Baltimore City.
Whereas, the Bolton Hill Community Association and Midtown Community Benefits District have undertaken the necessary project of rehabilitating a City intersection located at the corner of Park Avenue and North Avenue, including the creation of murals to revitalize and attract visitors to the space.
