What is the Circulator? A Message from the President Hurricane Sandy: It looks like most of Maryland and the
Chesapeake Bayescaped major stormdamage from Hurricane
Sandy. Our neighbors on the Eastern Shore in Ocean City &
to the North in NewYork & New Jerseywere not as fortunate
however. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone
devastated by the storm. There are many ways we can help
them from donations to the Red Cross to the many storm
relief efforts bringing clothes and food to the region on a
daily basis. Curtis DeStefano |

meeting since October 2010 to develop an overall vision and
implementation strategy for improving the city’s signature
public space. A major theme to emerge from CDAC and
public forums is the transformation of the City Dock area
with more public open space, a better pedestrian experience,
and fewer motor vehicles.
CDAC has been considering changes to Memorial Circle
as a way of accommodating some of these goals. Not only is
the existing circle a visual barrier but wide crossings and
continuous traffic flow create challenges for pedestrians. The
circle also usurps a large swath at the foot of Main St. that
could be reclaimed for public open space. And, while the
circle functions well during weekdays, heavy weekend
congestion leads to backups on the streets feeding into the
circle.
One option under consideration is to modify the current
traffic circle by narrowing the lanes and creating spaces for
pedestrians to wait while crossing. This option creates some
additional open space on the water side and along Hopkins
Plaza. A second option is to reconfigure the circle into a
modified T-intersection. This would provide a large public
square in front of the Market House and a large plaza area on
the water side. Signalizing the intersection also could allow
pedestrians to cross. To see the two proposed intersection
options for yourself, go to the City’s website
