		<description><![CDATA[Do some city DOT officials have their heads stuck in 1962? Should we shrink the median on Mt. Royal to create the bike lane the city seems on the verge of forsaking? Are artists painting crosswalks and speed-trap warning signs "artsy fartsy" scofflaws or valiant citizen traffic engineers? Robust reader reactions. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week's headlines involved developers and contracts. A developer seeking a juicy tax break for a Exelon skyscraper downtown. Another developer winning a nifty break on city property on Boston Street. Plus a water contract that keeps on rising in volume, leading one reader to write, "Baltimore's finances have another leaking problem." ]]></description>

Did Jack Young flip-flop or learn from a mistake? Plus, the best poem ever written about Baltimore contracting shenanigans.]]></description>
