Greetings, neighbors of Tuscany Canterbury!
by Julia Frazier, President TCNA
Summer is upon us, and we are all settling into a new pace, as our world, country, state, city and neighborhood emerge from a long hard year of pandemic stress. I hope you are staying well, and enjoying a bit of togetherness and mobility. It's not readily apparent how to return to "life as we know it" - and a part of me thinks it will never be quite the same again! While our lives are still a mix of virtual and in-person activity, I am thankful that for now, we seem to be in a safer place. I continue to send wishes of health and safety to you and yours.
I feel thankful to be your new president, as we look forward to hopefully being able to spend more time together in the coming months. I know my family and I have missed the ease of alley get-togethers, deck dinners, and gatherings in general. Stay tuned for things to come! It's still a bit early to tell what the state of affairs will be, but I've heard many say they are ready for some reuniting. I look forward to it as well, as we watch safety guidelines and protocols.
There will be buzz and activity in the neighborhood this summer, as Calvert School begins work on new campus projects. I am excited to see some of the new plantings and flowering trees they are planning for landscaping along Tuscany Road, and around the neighborhood. Stay tuned for details in this and upcoming newsletters. I am continuing my role as neighborhood liaison to the school, and feel that our communication remains strong. Our next meeting will be in August before the school year begins.
Please feel free to contact me with your questions or ideas. I look forward to my term as President, and getting to know you better. I believe that we live in the best neighborhood in Baltimore City - and I'm pleased to have the chance to keep Tuscany-Canterbury vibrant, active, and fun. Here we go!

A Special Thank You
Lu and Andy Parsley
For the past two years, Andy and Lu continued to make Tuscany-Canterbury the wonderful treasure of a neighborhood that we all enjoy. Being co-presidents of a neighborhood is never easy and through a pandemic was a challenge to keep in touch with everyone. You did an awesome job.
Another Special Thank You, Jillian Storms
Jillian was TCNA keynote speaker at the June 2021 Annual Meeting. She shared her research and knowledge on the historical development of Tuscany-Canterbury as part of the Olmsted Brothers' larger vision to connect residential neighborhoods, parks, and institutions to the city and each other. Thank you for this great presentation.
If you did not see the presentation, Gard Jones, a TCNA board member taped the presentation and is willing to share it. If you are interested, contact Gard. CLICK HERE for Jillian's presentation. |

Introducing Vira, the Vax Chatbot
COVID-19 vaccination is lagging in young adults nationally. Vira, the Vax Chatbot is designed to support and meet young people where they are with simple answers to common COVID-19 vaccine questions. Vira is adaptive and it learns, learning by listening to your questions and feedback and uses them to help scientists respond to emerging questions.
Vira was developed by the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with experts from the Bloomberg School's Department of International Health and Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. Vira’s knowledge base from Johns Hopkins vaccine scientists was developed with support from the COVID-19 Training Initiative, with funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies. VaxChat, powered by IBM, was inspired by previous research that showed automated chatbots using AI can effectively communicate credible information and support health behavior changes.
Vira can help health workers or anyone who seeks help fielding questions from family and friends about the COVID-19 vaccines. Check out Vira, a vax chatbot that’s here to help you and your loved ones make an informed decision.
Rose Weeks, Tuscany- Canterbury neighbor and Director of Communications, Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Center, would appreciate your comments about VaxChat.

Summer Safety Suggestions
-
Keep outdoor lights on your porches and outside your condos throughout the night even if you are not home. This discourages crime from happening.
- Check your car doors to make sure they are locked (even if you park in a condo or apartment building garage). Don't leave any valuables visible in your car.
- If you see a street light that is out, call 311 as soon as possible. If it doesn't get repaired email TCNA with the confirmation number and location. Click here.
- If you are going away even for a few days, tell a neighbor who can keep an eye and ear out for anything unusual.
- If you see something suspicious, call 911 as soon as possible.

From the Police Commissioner Harrison
The safety of Baltimore’s neighborhoods and the effectiveness of the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) demand an approach to policing that earns community trust and addresses community concerns. This approach to Community Policing includes engaging with community members through positive interactions that are both formal and informal, daily problem-solving, and problem oriented policing.

How does everyone feel about having our TCNA Fall Picnic this year?
At the last TCNA Board meeting, we all thought it would be a good idea. We've emailed Calvert School to see if we can hold it again in the Lower School's grassy field, on the same side of the street and next to the Lower School. We've given them a few dates, and we are waiting to hear back from them.
Our kids know how to be as safe as adults. And being outside means we only need to worry about rain.
One other concern is whether we should have TCNA supply hot dogs and beverages and everyone bring something to share... or everyone bring their own food and drink.
- Yes or No: Fall Picnic
- Yes or No: Calvert Lower School Field
- Yes or No: Have TCNA supply hotdogs and beverages and you bring something to share
- Yes or No: we bring your own food and drink
Looking forward to counting up the votes.
Ann Christopher... TCNA social chair

Update on Near-term Resurfacing University Parkway
- Baltimore City Board of Estimates approved $889,000 resurfacing project for 39th/San Martin to Charles Street. Scope of ADA improvements, bike lanes, crosswalks, other repairs unknown. Project was transferred from Maintenance Division to Traffic Engineering and Construction (TEC) Division of DOT, implying a higher degree of engineering/design.
- An update on the scope of any improvements over and above the resurfacing has been requested.
Long-term: Shared Vision Plan of University Parkway
- Neighborhood Design Center sent (NDC) TCNA a Memo Of Understanding for development of a Shared Vision Plan for University Parkway from 33rd Street to 40th Street. TCNA Board approved $250 expenditure for administrative fee at their last meeting. The TCNA President will sign the MOU after final edits are agreed.
- Establish a “University Parkway Project Team” to serve as liaisons between the NDC-led effort and TCNA, and also to coordinate engagement with our neighborhood stakeholders and partners (building/condo associations and owners, businesses, institutions)

The Greens Committee is working on the four neighborhood gardens (39th Street at Canterbury, Tuscany at Ridgemede, Ridgemede triangle, Stony Ford at Linkwood by the large bridge.) The majority of support for the gardens comes from TCNA membership dues. |

Mulch news and update: Good progress was made on the mulching - all three smaller gardens were mulched, thank you volunteers!!
On Monday, July 26 we will receive another large number of mulch bags, the contents of which need to be spread in the Canterbury/39th Street Garden. Mulch for that garden is estimated to arrive by late morning.
If you have the energy and interest, please help yourself to the mulch spreading effort. Any of the following tools are helpful: a shovel, a rake, a
bucket, a sharp knife/cutting instrument for opening the heavy plastic bags, a water bottle, gloves, and hat/sunscreen.
If you are planning on working in the garden, and if you know an estimated time of arrival, please let Bonnie Boland know. That way she can monitor the progress, if/where help is needed and possibly join you. It would be good to complete this effort in one day. But, if not, we will gratefully accept volunteer labor until the job is completed. Thanks in advance for helping us keep our neighborhood the BEST!! CLICK HERE TO REACH BONNIE
MULCH ON!!

A special thanks to the Tuscany-Lombard for donations of mulch for the gardens and to all the neighborhood volunteers who help throughout the year. |

Continuing Series of Neighborhood Profiles:
Fred Pincus
by Amy Mutch
|
|
Fred L. Pincus, a member of TCNA, recently published his memoir entitled: Confessions of a Radical Academic: A Memoir. As my copy is on the way, I got the information for this neighborhood profile was obtained from an absorbing, entertaining interview with Fred. Written in the first person, the book covers his 44 years as a professor of sociology at UMBC beginning when the University was in its third year.
Fred was raised and educated in Los Angeles but moved to Baltimore at age 26 in 1968 to join the faculty. His inquisitive nature led him to activist groups protesting the Vietnam War and racism. The Catonsville Nine and Black Panther movement were informative in his early years in Baltimore. Fred was integral to UMBC's efforts to increase black student enrollment and his passions lead him to participate in protests along side those very students on campus. Fred created courses on race relations that expanded as increasing disenfranchised groups began searching for a voice.
|
|
Next month Fred’s third edition of Understanding Diversity: An Introduction to Class, Race, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Disability will be released. During the interview Fred shared anecdotal stories about the fine line he walked, at times requiring him to be mindful of being the radical at the table. A simple lunch gathering at the College Board when the SAT test was being challenged for racial bias could have been a potential powder keg but somehow Fred knew how to navigate the discussion.
The path to tenure was a challenge but Fred’s boast of a 44 year career to professor emeritus speaks volumes of his character as a “radical”. The Sun paper published his op-ed piece on June 13th entitled “Can a white man teach about racism? I did my best for 44 years.” As a professor Fred taught 6,000-7,000 students and he has been reconnecting with some of the early activists in retirement and expressed that as a great joy. Fred concluded the interview stating he is always learning and I salute Fred in his ongoing journey. I look forward for mine to continue as I read his memoir.

A recent Instagram Post about Tuscany-Canterbury
Tuscany-Canterbury is one of my favorite hidden gem neighborhoods in Baltimore. My son is back in daycare near the neighborhood now, so I’ve been walking past these amazing attached half-timber houses several times a day. They were built in 1928 and designed by John A Ahlers. Ahlers designed several groups of homes on the street to fit the rolling contour of the land, inspired by his hometown, Oberhausen, Germany. He went on to design over 180 homes in Northwood, Homeland, Guilford and Tuscany-Canterbury. These four pictures show part of one group of homes in the neighborhood. Information from the Tuscany-Canterbury National Register of Historic Places Registration Form. #historichomesofbaltimore

Meeting with USPS regarding mail service
USPS Officials said by the end of July all mail will be back to normal delivery. Their strategy is to hire 600 more staff including delivery people, clerks, and back-room staff.
Council member Odette Ramos and U.S Senator Chris Van Hollen had a meeting with US Postal representatives on with 80 residents in the district on July 14. Overall, the US Postal Service officials were apologetic and eager to look into our concerns.
Odette will be following up through Senator Van Hollen’s office to ensure the postal service can become the well-run, reputable entity that it has always been.

New Composting Program
DPW Launches Pilot to Reduce Food Waste in Baltimore
|
|
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works residents can take their food waste to the residential drop off center at Sisson Street. Accepted materials include: fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, egg shells, coffee grounds and tea bags.
Many people already drop off their food waste to the Waverly Farmer's Market or Baltimore Farmer's Market. Saving your compost in a container with a lid, then dropping it off, is a great way to help our environment.
About 25% of the waste in our landfill and incinerator is food waste! Composting allows for this waste to be turned into valuable soil and helps us get to our goal of Zero Waste. Baltimore's compost will go to an organic composting plant in Prince George's County, MD.
To learn more about how you can compost, click here.

Maryland Transit Administration Launches Study of New North-South Transit Corridor Connecting Downtown Baltimore to Towson
Building on the recently-completed Regional Transit Plan (RTP), the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) has launched a study of an “early action” north-south transit corridor connecting Downtown Baltimore and Towson. (A second “early action” corridor is the East-West Transit Corridor that would study alternatives to improve east-west connectivity in the wake of the cancelled Red Line light rail project.)
The study proposes three potential routes for the North-South corridor. A “west” option could connect University of Maryland Medical Center, Penn Station, JHU-Homewood Campus, Loyola, Notre Dame, Friends School, GMBC/Shepard Pratt/St. Joseph’s Medical Center and Towson University on the way to downtown Towson. This “west” route may involve a frequent bus or up to a high-capacity bus rapid transit service with dedicated lanes, signal priority, and high-visibility stations. (Surface light rail or subway are highly unlikely in the Charles Street corridor due to cost per projected rider and adjacent property impacts.) A significant stretch of this route, between Cold Spring Lane and the GBMC campus, is not conducive to transit ridership and has very limited potential for new transit-oriented development.
A “central” route for the service could follow York Road/Greenmount Avenue from Downtown Baltimore to Towson. This route currently is served by the city’s highest-volume bus route and was the route of one of the city’s last streetcars prior to the termination of all streetcar services. (Streetcar tracks on Greenmount/York Road were in the travel lanes, not in dedicated right of way.)
NOTE: 30% of the residents in Tuscany-Canterbury do not have a car. Alternative transportation is important.

Tuscany Woods Project Update
Anne Perkins,
Tuscany Woods Project Committee
|
SOON…
As our E-Newsletter goes to press everything is ready to put the first spade in the ground for Calvert School’s construction project that will include a new Middle School sports building and the extension of the Middle School sports field into the wooded property in the 200 block of Tuscany Road.
The only hurdle remaining is final approval by the City.
There have been several changes to Calvert’s development plans since the last E-Newsletter. Because of recent changes to the State Forest Conservation laws, Calvert will be required to keep more of their property forested than was previously designated. The school worked with the City Planning Department and enlarged the forest buffer zone along the Tuscany Road and Tuscany Court alley sides of the plat that the neighborhood and school had agreed to several years ago. The drawings and maps reflecting these changes are pictured below. Interestingly, the forest preservation requirements will run with the land – meaning forever! Because the 2017 agreement between the Calvert and the neighborhood only lasts for 20 years, this is a positive happening for the future of the neighborhood.
The Tuscany Project Committee met with neighbors living near the Tuscany Road site and staff of the City Planning Department. The Committee also provided written and oral testimony to the City Planning Commission on June 24. In addition to supporting Calvert’s plans, the neighborhood’s testimony pointed out that because of the stress that school traffic puts on the neighborhood, it will continue to be important to limit traffic ingress and egress from the site to Tuscany Road to just emergency, handicap and maintenance uses.
The Planning Commission was comfortable with the school’s tree replacement, storm run-off and landscaping plans and approved Calvert’s development plans.

The shaded area on the drawing above shows the Forest Conservation Easement area. This area is 1.4 acres of the 2.7 acres that were purchased by Calvert School in 2018. The agreed upon TCNA/Calvert buffer zone remains, plus additional land was included in the Forest Conservation Easement. |
