Group Description
No waterway has been more essential to the development of Baltimore than the Jones Falls. And yet this river has endured the effects of pollution and neglect for well over a century. The river was forced underground in the early twentieth century, a radical transformation in the name of public health and efficiency that has had lasting consequences for the environmental quality of the water and watershed. However forgotten the Jones Falls may be as a river entombed by urban infrastructure and even a major freeway, a fundamental ecological restoration of the river remains possible and necessary. What if we reimagined the future of this river instead as the center of a sustainable, equitable, and ecologically vibrant Baltimore?
