In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The new initiative divides Baltimore into 17 neighborhood clusters, with city agencies and partner organizations scheduled to service each cluster one week at a time. Residents are encouraged to report issues through 311, organize volunteer cleanups, and monitor service progress via an online dashboard. The effort will focus on both resolving 311 requests and proactively tackling issues like illegal dumping, graffiti, clogged storm drains, and unkempt alleys. City departments such as Public Works, Transportation, Recreation and Parks, and Clean Corps will lead on-the-ground operations.
The city stresses that this initiative is not a one-time event, but rather the beginning of a sustained “New Culture of Clean” across Baltimore. Agencies will collaborate closely with residents, supporting volunteer efforts and connecting individuals to resources when needed. Real-time progress will be publicly tracked on the Verbosity platform, which powers the initiative’s mapping and service tracking technology.
The city urges residents to report neighborhood maintenance issues online, by phone, or through the 311 app. Participation from the public is critical to identifying priority areas and ensuring timely action. The cleanup schedule and tracking dashboard are available at www.baltimorecity.gov/charm-city-clean.
