All parking is local.
For the last ten years, approximately 1,000 employees of Sinai Hospital and the Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital have parked on the Preakness Way lot of the Pimlico Race Course – except on Preakness Day.
They are a short walk or shuttle ride from their jobs.
And they are not parking in the nearby residential neighborhoods of Cylburn, Sunset, and Levindale.
A win-win for everybody.
Pimlico needs to construct 300 stables when the Bowie training facility closes, as well as housing for backstretch employees.
Four weeks ago, the track submitted a preliminary construction plan with the stables and housing located on the Preakness Way lot.
My 41st District colleagues and I expressed our concerns with the negative effect this would have upon the track’s neighbors – our constituents.
Pimlico and Sinai officials met today.
When the Preakness Way lot needs to be vacated, the track will provide parking at another location, most likely the Belvedere and Park Heights lot.
Another win-win for everybody.
