This document discusses a study on the potential impacts of transit-oriented development (TOD) in the Middle East neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. It notes that the area currently has vacant buildings and lots and is economically depressed and socially distressed. The document examines reasons for TOD around the Madison Square Station, including existing transit options and nearby employment centers. It recommends validating mobility needs and determining appropriate housing types and amounts as part of the built environment. Maps show the redevelopment potential within a quarter mile of the station, including converting vacant buildings and lots to residential, commercial, and mixed-use lands. The conclusions emphasize providing a great urban transit experience, realizing the area's unrealized potential, conserving resources, and ensuring equity.
