A $14-million streetscape project on Warner St. in The Walk @ Warner Street entertainment district is scheduled to begin on September 9th. The three-block section of Warner St. connects Horseshoe Casino Baltimore to M&T Bank Stadium.
The Horseshoe Casino Baltimore ownership group of CBAC is leading the work and South Baltimore’s Plano-Coudon is the general contractor.
A representative from CBAC told SouthBMore.com: “The goal is to improve Warner Street and the walk between the stadium and the casino. When complete, Warner Street will have a new concrete surface, wider and new sidewalks, no overhead BGE lines, new water and sewer lines in the ground, a bike path, landscape area and new lights.”
All the improvements will take place on publicly-owned property. The entire project will take about 16 months and Warner St. will only be open for access from the casino garage and for emergency vehicles and pedestrian traffic.
While CBAC is leading the work, it will be reimbursed by Baltimore City funds and a state grant. Much of the city funds come from the Baltimore Casino Local Development Council which spends Casino Local Impact Grants generated from slot machines.
