Baltimore Peninsula: Low Impact Facilities Integrated into a Highly Urban Environment
Baltimore Peninsula (formerly known as Port Covington) is a 183-acre area on the south side of Baltimore City, immediately south of I-95 and bounded by the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River on the east, south, and west sides. The site formerly housed the Baltimore Sun, and still currently houses Rye Street Tavern, City Garage, and the former Tidewater Yacht Service Center. The first phase of the project included approximately 25 acres on the east side of the peninsula and created a new public street network based on an approved Master Plan, as well as 5 parcels developed with a mix of residential, office, and retail uses. As part of the development, stormwater management was required per MDE and Baltimore City regulations. In order to meet those regulations, 119 microbioretention facilities were integrated into the streetscape design to treat approximately 5.5 acres of impervious area of the 7.7 acres required. STV Incorporated (STV) and Daft McCune Walker (DMW) coordinated and collaborated with various disciplines as well as Baltimore City Department of Transportation (DoT) and Department of Public Works (DPW) throughout the design process to ensure regulatory approval and a successful project.
