1-95 Tree Mitigation

With the expansion of I-95, a new partnership between Baltimore and the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) formed. This spring, the partnership resulted in the planting of more than 1,100 deciduous and evergreen trees on park property at the following locations: Patterson Park, Joseph Lee Park, Druid Hill Park, Carroll Park, Farring Baybrook Park and along the Broadway median. This reforestation project is part of the MDTA's I-95 Express Toll Lanes Environmental Program.
