**Lake2Lake Play Day!**

Join Bikemore, Black People Ride Bikes, Graham Projects, and Baltimore City Department of Transportation for an afternoon of celebration and family fun at Lake Montebello! We’re improving access to Lake Montebello and making the intersection of 33rd & Hillen safer for all with traffic-calming infrastructure and art.

Ride or roll over and join us for games for kids, a family biking meetup, food trucks, hiking, yoga, and more. Music, a photobooth, and information from organizations will be available throughout the event.

Activities include:

Earlier this year, Bikemore and partners Baltimore City Department of Transportation, Graham Projects, and Black People Ride Bikes were granted an award from NACTO to implement traffic calming infrastructure and art at Lake Montebello and Druid Hill Park, two public spaces that served as an important outdoor resource for the communities surrounding them. DOT is leading the traffic calming installation, Graham Projects is leading community-directed pavement art, and Black People Ride Bikes and Bikemore led community engagement through the Mobile Bike Shop and bike rides.

Traffic calming at 33rd & Hillen is set to be installed by the end of October, while the Big Jump on Druid Park Lake Drive will be updated with concrete barriers in Spring 2022.

Please note we will be observing Baltimore Ctiy’s COVID-19 guidelines during this event. If you are sick or showing symptoms of sickness including cough, headache, bodyache, chills, or fever, please stay at home. Masks and social distancing are highly recommended.
