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.

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.)

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?
