Henry A. Barnes arrived in Baltimore, MD in March of 1953 to become Baltimore's Commissioner of the Department of Transit and Traffic. Henry's arrival was heralded as the solution for Baltimore's traffic problems. He had become widely known during his successful work in Denver, Colorado as head of that city's Department of Traffic. Armed with one-way signs, parking prohibitions, progressive traffic signal timing, and a lot of common sense, Henry brought order out of chaos in Baltimore. A grateful Mayor appointed him Commissioner for a seven year period - three years longer than the Mayor's term in office. After eight years, Henry Barnes was enticed away to become Commissioner of New York City's Department of Transit and Traffic where he served until his death in 1968.
