- The location and operation of a bus depot in an older, inner-city, working-class neighborhood along Kirk Avenue.

- Reaction to changes in transit service at Lexington Market in central Baltimore, an historic shopping destination frequented by lower-income residents from surrounding communities.
- The concerns of communities living along the U.S. Route 40 Corridor through West Baltimore regarding plans for a proposed Red Line and efforts to create transit-oriented development around an existing commuter rail station. Highway to Nowhere
- The projected changes in demographics between 2000 and 2030 along the I-95 Corridor.
