Traffic Advisory
Soccer Game between AC Milan and Chelsea FC

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation today announced traffic and parking modifications in effect for the soccer game between AC Milan and Chelsea FC on Friday, July 24, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. Please be advised that all parking restrictions and residential permit parking regulations in the surrounding area of the stadium will be strictly enforced. Fans choosing to drive to the game are strongly encouraged to leave early, park at commercial parking lots and avoid area neighborhoods. The Department of Transportation recommends the use of alternate forms of travel such as Mass Transit, Metro Subway, Light Rail or carpool.

The following traffic modifications will be in effect on Friday, July 24, 2009 due to construction on Lombard Street and Race Street:

· Three (3) lanes of traffic will be maintained westbound on Lombard Street at all times
· Southbound JFK traffic heading to the game should exit at North Avenue; take Mount Royal Avenue to Cathedral Street to Martin Luther King, Jr Boulevard.
· Westbound traffic heading to the game should use Central Avenue to Orleans Street to Franklin Street to Green Street.
· Race Street will be closed between West and Ostend Streets

Motorists should expect delays and pay close attention to all parking restrictions and new traffic patterns in the vicinity. Special Traffic Enforcement Officers
(STEOs) and Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be deployed at strategic locations to direct motorists through the new traffic patterns and to the alternate routes.

Motorists should be aware that special parking restrictions will be in effect in the vicinity of the stadium. Parking Control Agents will aggressively enforce all posted parking restrictions and vehicles parked in violation will be ticketed and towed. The Fallsway Impound Lot will remain open for two hours after the game. In addition, Special Traffic Enforcement Officers will assist Baltimore City Police with the movement of traffic in the downtown area.

The Department of Transportation is committed to

“Keeping Baltimore moving safely now and in the future”.

Your Baltimore City Property Taxes

Baltimore City has heard from several property owners, particularly in the 21229 and 21230 zip codes, that they did not receive their City real property tax bill for the tax year July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

If you own property in the City and have not received your real property tax bill, please call 410-396-3987 or email BaltimoreCityCollections@baltimorecity.gov and request a duplicate bill. If your mortgage company receives the billing information directly from the City, then it should have already received the information, which is conveyed to most mortgage companies electronically.
