Reply to Active water leak in basement (rain water), any water proofing company recommendations? by NotARageComic
We went with Bel Air Waterproofing.
They came and looked around the inside and outside of the house and recommended a few alternatives to a basement waterproofing. Basically, for less than half the cost of what we expected them to do (waterproofing the basement, installing a french drain, whatever), they fixed up our gutter downspouts, regraded the soil around the house, and installed some additional drainage on the property all without damaging any of our bushes.
The guy we worked with was really helpful and gave us fantastic service. This was right at the start of COVID in 2020 and we haven't had water in the basement since.

I might be interested in this too. Also a place that shows NASCAR races too.

I would talk to people here or related Baltimore subs about good experiences because they are few and far between and Baltimore is full of crooks in the home repair business.

Water proofing companies are scam artists selling minimum work and made up scenarios for maximum dollar effect.
You need a licensed and heavily researched and vetted general contractor.

(It would be theoretically possible though, right? Since they’re designed to be wide enough for an emergency vehicle I believe?)

tl;dr yes
There are different problems with the two-way lanes (people don't look for bike traffic coming from the "wrong" direction, for example), but they do solve many of the problems with the typical outside single-lanes. It would be much harder to say that either is definitively better.
(And I'd love to be wrong about this, but I don't think they sweep the double-lanes even where it would be feasible.)

The buildings in the photos are being demoed. I attended a pre bid there last month. That is when I took the pictures. Everything but the church is going to be leveled

I’ve walked that path a few times and I’ve always walked down Pratt until I hit Charles and then take that straight north. Never done it late at night, but it’s usually got a bit more foot traffic (and car traffic) than the streets running parallel.

Wouldn’t putting both directions of bike traffic on the same side with a two-way bike like fix all of these issues? Because I’m presuming with the cleaning you mean streetsweeping which could theoretically occur on such a lane.

Submit it to 311 on the app with pictures. It alerts DOT and they might also ticket even if they move with such evidence.

Basically like a “Pay Nothing” group but for skills? I’d be interested (although I honestly sometimes I’m not sure what to list as my skills because I’m not like a champion woodworker or anything).

can i ask you something, If im trying to get from baltimore/paca up to Mount Vernon (instead of Fells Point),... would you walk down Baltimore to Charles to get to MtVernon or would you take Fayette or some other parallel street, it seems like Pratt would would be out of the way if youre going north to mount vernon?

Roland ones sucked and were designed substandard to preserve car travel lanes. Check out Central Ave. That's the standard design for a real facility with one way in either direction.
