The City Council has officially approved the new waterfront design that centers on pedestrian access and public space. This result reflects the collective effort of everyone who advocated for a more walkable city dock. I look forward to observing the implementation phase as these plans finally become a reality.

Final supporters
A new design was presented to the City Council on Nov. 26, 2012 and now it is traveling on its long journey through the planning process.
City dock is currently comprised of 16.8 acres, 56% of which is dedicated to parking and streets, 27% to buildings, 9% to sidewalks and promenades and only a mere 8% to public open space.
We believe that having only 17% of pedestrian friendly space is not enough. A more pedestrian friendly design would prioritize: - Highly walk-able and connected open spaces
- Dedicated green spaces
- A safe, wide public promenade along the water
- Wider sidewalks
- Safe and controlled crossing areas
- Less traffic congestion
- Strategic management of parking
- Long term solutions for flooding
Send our city government the message to prioritize people and pedestrian friendly spaces on our waterfront!

The momentum behind this proposal indicates that our community strongly favors a waterfront redesigned for people rather than vehicles. This level of engagement provides a clear mandate as we move toward formal discussions with the city government.

Our objective of reaching one hundred signatures is within sight. Please invite others to join this effort so we can demonstrate the breadth of public desire for a more accessible waterfront.

The amount of space for parking is insane given how nice the waterfront is. we need actual benches and green space.
Annapolis is too beautiful to be a big parking lot. Lets make it for the people instead of the cars.
FINALLY. City dock needs to be a place to hang out not just a place to park trucks near the water.
walked down there last weekend and it was way to crowded. give us room to breathe and view the water!
Flooding is real. We need a better plan that actually helps the city move forward.
