Our son-in-law, Jon, is a local, Baltimore City hero for the people! He designed the landscaping part of the construction. The October 31st edition of the Sunpapers explains:
"The third time was the charm Thursday, as the Baltimore City Urban Design and Architectural Review Panel gave its blessing to the planned 25th Street Station shopping center with a Walmart in Remington.
UDARP had criticized aspects of the Walmart design in two previous hearings, but this time agreed that proposed landscaping and design changes would make the center and its Walmart super center store more aesthetically pleasing and better integrated into the community, as well as more pedestrian-friendly.
City Planning Department Director Thomas Stosur, a member of the UDARP panel, remarked on "how pleasing it is that you guys really took this (criticism) to heart."
"I think the concept has really gotten stronger since your landscape architects have joined the (development) team," panelist Gary Bowden said after a presentation by Dan Condatore of Massa Montalto Architects and landscape architect Jon Kraft, branch manager of Bowman Consulting."
