City Dock

The urgency of climate change and sea-level rise has prompted the City of Annapolis to embark on a unique and standard-setting project. For two decades, Annapolis has sought to transform City Dock. In 2019, The City and Historic Annapolis banded together to form the City Dock Action Committee (CDAC). That committee consisted of ninety-two local community volunteers coming forward to address the increasing amount and frequency of flooding while working to address the dilapidated and outdated asphalt parking along the waterfront at City Dock. After many discussions, meetings, and negotiations, the CDAC supplied the selected consortium design team, Annapolis Mobility & Resilience Partners (AMRP), their findings. From there, BCT Design Group, serving as master planner and design architect alongside the other members of the AMRP design team crafted actionable design solution for Annapolis.
