Bloomingdale Avenue


Windsor Mill Road is a road that runs through parts of Baltimore, Maryland and its western suburb Woodlawn. The road starts as a one-way street named Edgewood Street, then makes a slight left corner and becomes Windsor Mill Road. The road, which is approximately 7½ miles in length, runs parallel to nearby Liberty Road and Security Boulevard, and is often used as an alternative to these routes. Though Windsor Mill Road has no interchange with the Baltimore Beltway, it crosses over the highway, and this point is frequently mentioned in traffic reports.

Windsor Mill Road once continued east to near the intersection of Pennsylvania and Fremont Avenues; a short piece survives as School Street. The road is an old one, existing prior to the founding of Baltimore in 1729.

Currently, Windsor Mill Road begins near Walbrook Junction in West Baltimore as a one-way street for several blocks, but becomes a larger two-way road at Gwynns Falls Parkway. It then proceeds as a winding road, passing two city parks: Gwynns Falls Park and Leakin Park.

After passing the two parks, Windsor Mill Road runs mostly straight with few curves. The road is lined mostly with single-family houses, apartments, and small shops and shopping centers throughout its duration.

Then passing Forest Park Avenue, it becomes the Baltimore County line between Kernan and Forest Park Avenues in the Woodlawn area, run by motorists in the area.

The main part of Windsor Mill Road ends at Old Court Road. There is no traffic light at this intersection. However, Windsor Mill Road continues for two more blocks beyond Old Court as a side street that is Inwood Road.

Two well-known parks, Gwynns Falls and Leakin Park, are located along Windsor Mill Road in Baltimore City. The parks have more than 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of land combined. Leakin Park is home to the Gwynns Falls Trail, that runs through Leakin Park, and the annual Baltimore Herb Festival.
