JHU's Early Learning Center, currently at Wyman Park Drive and San Martin Drive, will be moving to University Parkway by 2025. JHU is very early in the planning process and additional details for the site will develop over the next several months.
There are currently 96 children in the Center and the new Center will be for 152 children. The Center is primarily for children of employees and staff of JHU. Downtown Baltimore Children Center will continue to run the center. Parking will be provided for staff of the Center. The entrance to the Center may be from University Parkway.

39th Street Calming Plan
| |
|
TCNA Traffic Calming in the 100 block of 39th Street is necessary and was promised.
Councilwoman Odette Ramos has been working with TCNA, the Broadview, and BCDOT (Baltimore City Department of Transportation) since 2020 to make this happen.
It's time to let the Mayor's Office know BCDOT needs to fix the traffic issue.
| |
|
As soon as possible call or email the Mayor's Office and explain that you are a resident of Tuscany-Canterbury and need the Mayor to direct BCDOT (Baltimore City Department of Transportation) to approve the pending Developer's Agreement 1820 for the Traffic Calming Project on 39th Street between University Parkway and the Canterbury Circle.

Information from TCNA March 2024 Newsletter
39th Street Calming Project
A thousand neighbors cross the 100 block of 39th Street each day. Traffic needs to slow down. TCNA approved a calming project 9 years ago. The project still isn't done.
The Project has been spearheaded by the Broadview Apartments. Phase 1 and Phase 2 have been finished and completely paid for by the Broadview. TCNA volunteers helped with the plantings on the median strip. Phase 3 planning was funded mostly by the Broadview, and TCNA donated $1600.
Phase 3, the final phase of the Project, has been planned and is close to being done but a couple of obstacles remain. The Broadview needs the Developer's Agreement 1820 to be approved by Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT). That approval still has not happened. Funding for this Phase 3 will cost $87,000, $50,000 of which has been committed by the Broadview, Johns Hopkins University, Hopkins House, and the Woodcliff Manor.

Dangerous curve on 39th Street at Stony Run Lane. 1000 people cross this block every day and cars still speed. | |
|
2016, Phase 1 of Calming Plan
The goal was to make 39th Street safer by preventing people from crossing the median between University Parkway and Stony Run Lane.
| |
|
The Canterbury Circle was completed in 2013. Tuscany-Canterbury spent decades convincing Baltimore City that this was a dangerous intersection. The circle slows down traffic at the intersection and makes it safer to cross 39th Street. But the traffic speeds up between the circle and University Parkway.
Next, speed bumps need to be placed between the circle and University Parkway. The Developer's Agreement 1820 between the Broadview and Baltimore City will allow Broadview to finish the project.
