With Pulaski Highway and Interstate 895 coming from the north and east, access to other points in Baltimore is easy. However, traffic can be a challenge in the densely populated neighborhood. "Traffic is heavy," Saunders says. "It's heavy. Most of the time, it's bumper-to-bumper." Fortunately, travelers and commuters have non-driving options with buses running through the neighborhood along East Lombard St. and South Highland Ave.
