PHOTO TOUR:
PROPOSED METRO EXTENSION FROM
HOPKINS HOSPITAL TO CANTON

Hopkins Hospital is the current eastern terminus of Baltimore's Metro Subway, shown by the skylight oblisk in the Broadway median. It's very attractive, but as a terminal transit station, it utterly fails because of its lack of feeder bus access.

This shows the massive demolition which has has begun for the East Baltimore Biotech Park immediately north of Hopkins Hospital, here shown along Eager Street looking west from Rutland toward Broadway. The Metro extension would come out of the ground along Eager Street somewhere between this point and Chester Street, where it parallels the Amtrak tracks.

This is a potential location for a station serving the Berea community. The Amtrak tracks are behind the row of garages under the tall power poles.

The abandoned rail right of way leads southward directly to the massive Canton Crossing waterfront development, and its first high rise building which is shown on the horizon. This view looks southward from O'Donnell Street toward Boston and Conkling Streets. Brewers Hill and its parking lot are to the right.

The Southeast Metro extension (right of way to the left) would terminate near the huge Brewers Hill parking lot, looking south toward Canton Crossing. The Brewers Hill development is to the right and beyond this parkling lot. This would make a perfect location for new transit-oriented development.
