Summary

Baltimore City Council Bill 26-0210 authorizes the City Comptroller to sell, publicly or privately, two former street-right-of-way parcels in West Baltimore, within the area bounded by W. Lafayette Avenue, N. Brice Street, W. Lanvale Street, N. Pulaski Street, Harlem Avenue, and Amtrak property. The parcels, identified on Plat 316-C-6A, total about 30,733 square feet, or 0.706 acres, in Wards 16 and 17-related recorded blocks. The land is no longer needed for active public use and is associated with the Frederick Douglass Tunnel program area. The legislation enables transfer for potential redevelopment and investment, while requiring City Solicitor approval before any deed is issued. It was introduced June 15, 2026, at the Administration’s request and assigned to the Land Use and Transportation Committee.
