"The resolution on Monday should be the next major milestone," said Jay Davidson, a Baltimore attorney who is chief operating officer of BRD. "It doesn't commit the city to host the event, but it basically gives us the confidence that the city is very interested and considering it very carefully."
BRD is in the process of securing funding for noise and traffic management studies, Davidson said. He said he hoped both studies can be completed in the next few months.
On Wednesday, Davidson said, an Indy Racing League official walked the course with a track consultant looking at the condition of the streets. The course was designed in part by two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr., who said he looked for roads that could accommodate nearby grandstands and runoff areas if cars needed to leave the track.
