Group: Scenic sites ?endangered?

A state conservation group named Baltimore?s Charles Street corridor as the one victory in its campaign to save Maryland?s “endangered views,” but cautioned the neighborhood?s historical character is under a constant threat.

On Thursday, Scenic Maryland included Charles Street on a list of seven scenic sites at risk from over-development, underfunding and neglect, but celebrated city legislation passed earlier this month that banned skyscrapers from the neighborhood. After four years of opposition, group members and neighborhood associations successfully lobbied against a bill that would allow buildings as tall as 230 feet.
