I like the ideas for Auchentoroly Terrace found here, but I wonder if an overpass crossing Liberty Heights would even be necessary. It's pointed out that a lot of traffic is diverted onto Liberty Heights and Greenspring, and that Reisterstown Rd can't absorb the eight lanes of traffic from Auchentoroly Terrace anyway. All things that I agree with. So why not just have Swan and Auchentoroly Terrace end at Liberty Heights? The, now, two northbound lanes of Swan Dr would simply become turn lanes. One right (as well as left turn lane proceeding onto Liberty Heights) going onto Greenspring, and a left turn only lane turning onto Liberty Heights Ave. Traffic could then join Reisterstown Rd just a few blocks away at Reisterstown and Liberty Heights. The triangle of land between Reisterstown Rd, Liberty Heights Ave, and Auchentoroly Terrace/ Swan Dr could then be used to expand the park, and directly connect the new Parks and People building to Druid Hill Park. This would also probably help with making the houses on Auchentoroly Terrace livable again. I'd also extend the median on Reisterstown Rd from Liberty Heights all the way to Druid Park Dr, as it now cuts off for the turn lane onto Auchentoroly Terrace/ Swan Dr.
