“The fence comes down.”

The fence surrounds Pimlico Race Track.

It’s been there for quite some time.

I drive past it on Rogers Av., when I’m coming home from my district office.

I walk past it on Belvedere Av., coming from my house to the track on Preakness Day.

At a community meeting last night, Bill Cole said that when the site is redeveloped, “The fence comes down.”

Bill represented the City of Baltimore in the negotiations that resulted in the agreement to keep the Preakness at Pimlico and redevelop 50 acres on the site for housing, businesses, and recreation.

There will be no fence to keep people off the property.

Legislation to implement that plan will be introduced within a week.

We are in the home stretch.
