The Shops at Canton Crossing — Attraction in Baltimore

The parking lot is inconsistent with lane widths, and turning radii, multiple intersections added next to each other (so many intersections on top of each other which probably means each store designed their own parking lot designs and didn’t collaborate with the shopping center or other retailers). Lane markings don’t exist which leads to a lot of confused first time visitors causing even more congestion and chaos. I’ve seen some of what they tried to do here (create a design for slowing traffic more naturally), but it’s inconsistently used and therefore adds to even more headaches and angst from already fatigued shoppers. The fact that they tried traffic calming strategies but stopped far from a comprehensive plan makes this area a literal downer before even getting there. It’s kind of offensive. Why didn’t anyone do their job with designing this place? Add weird ass people stopping traffic as they inexplicably feel the need to hold up multiple lanes of traffic by awkwardly backing in to a parking spot is an obvious indicator of the selfish, inconsiderate, and general lack of awareness oozing from the customer base. Nightmare. It’s like a middle school design project where no one read all of the material and ended up with huge gaps of logic and flawed concepts… hurriedly rushing last minute to get it submitted while elbowing their way ahead of the others. If this shopping area design was a young human, it would be in time out for 23 hours a day, without knowing why, and drawing...

I love having a shopping center like this in the city proper. I used to hate having to go all the way out to Towson or Glen Burnie if I just needed dog food or to hit a craft store, and this certainly makes it much easier to make a quick run that doesn't end up as a whole day excursion. It has an ulta, 5 below, Harris Teeter, Old Navy, Chick Fil A, Mission BBQ, DSW shoe warehouse, Loft, a lot of other chain type restaurants, a bank, a hair cuttery, and a liqour store. It's a great addition to the Canton revival/restoration. The only drawback? The mess of a parking lot. It's atrocious. It causes massive traffic, and people walk across it, devil may care, so between the one traffic light, the excessive stop signs, the stange seperation of the Ulta/5Below/DSW into it's own very small, non functional parking lot, the random stop signs that come at all angles and result in a cluster of jerky stop and go's, it becomes a huge headache during the peak hours and even beyond. The left turn lane out of there can become a terrifying experience when people are barelling through the light, going straight, when they should be turning also. Best advice is to go during the mid afternoon or after 8pm. And try to be a responsible driver while navigating the parking lot and leaving the shopping center proper, it will make Boston street less of a pain...

Awesome place to shop &walk to a variety of stores and places to eat. Across street they have a Walk-in health clinic, barbershop highly priced for a haircut and weren't that confident about certain???.park next door on the water . You can do a little 🐠🐟 fishing or just sit back take a couple deep breaths and relax watch sun come up or down.then off course Patterson park in few blocks north from Canton. City blocks so about 4-5..min walk it should take with observing the scenic value of what bmore should be like. But on other side of Patterson park Baltimore street and farther north you go it switches to a whole new environment. My outlook Baltimore city is such a diverse city has alot of historical value in area or the architecture of the buildings... But real truth the people is what makes this a very negative reactions from people or just such hate and disgust comes from our youth but at a very strong point in there lives it's not there fault it's there upbringing from there peers . Baltimore city Maryland is an amazing city that will have it's claim to be amazing once again and it will only happen or change is when we all unite and...
