Design for Distancing: Reopening Baltimore Together

BDC is partnering with Neighborhood Design Center develop tactical design concepts for urban public space configurations that can be implemented to create safe, socially distancing patronage of small businesses in our Main Streets and commercial corridors. More information about this initiative, please click here. These design concepts will become part of a free digital Pattern Book with not just the designs, but also additional resources that anyone can use to implement these concepts.
