Tuscany-Canterbury Public Safety Updates

Garth Thompson, Chair of TCNA Public Safety Committee

Jack Boyson

Tuscany-Canterbury (with 4000 residents and 1800 homes and condos/ apartments) is one of the safest neighborhoods in Baltimore. TCNA has requested Northern District to send a representative to a TCNA board meeting this spring to discuss ways that larcenies and auto thefts can be reduced in our neighborhood.

Capital 1 is the Linkwood Road project connecting the path between the two pedestrian bridges

The Tree Canopy

We are looking for opportunities to plant additional trees where previous trees have been cut down or damaged or where there are significant gaps in our tree canopy. Our focus is on the grassy public areas between the sidewalks and curbs. If you know of a candidate spot, send us an e-mail to presidentTCNA@gmail.com. The next chance for new plantings will be early spring.

Calvert Covenant Update

A draft of the Covenant was discussed at the September 17th TCNA General and Board Meeting. At that meeting the draft was approved to move forward to Calvert School.

Representatives from the TCNA-Calvert School Covenant Renewal Committee have been meeting with Calvert to negotiate a new agreement. The Calvert Board of Trustees wants a scaled-down version of the draft agreement that TCNA submitted to the school in October. We are still negotiating with the school to finalize an agreement that has terms we can each accept. The current covenant expires in June, 2026. Stay tuned!

Pat Hawthorne & Mike Travieso, Co-chairs Calvert Covenant Committee

Calvert Liaison Committee Update

Thanks to Jack Boyson, TCNA board member, communication and coordination with Calvert School went well regarding the water main work on Tuscany, Stoneyford and Linkwood Roads.  Jack’s fluency in Spanish came in handy as he was the primary communicator between the work crew and neighborhood.  Jack advised work schedules that would not interfere with Calvert’s calendar regarding water and traffic disruptions.   We owe Jack a debt of gratitude. We also hope we can rely on him this spring for the paving plans.  

 Carpool lines continue to move well overall for both the AM drop-off and PM pick-up.  Sending emails to amyemutch@yahoo.com is the best way to reach me regarding traffic, parking concerns around the school. 

 Thanks to all neighbors and Calvert School for doing the heavy lifting of shoveling snow to keep our sidewalks and roads safe these past two weeks. 

Amy Mutch, Chair, Calvert Liaison Committee

Volunteer in Tuscany-Canterbury

A great way to make a difference and meet neighbors and find out about your neighborhood.



Neighborhood Dumpster Volunteer: The dumpster is delivered to the neighborhood four Saturdays a year, at around 8 AM. Sam Park coordinates its delivery with the city. Once it is in place, a volunteer is required to post a sign on the dumpster, listing which items are allowed and which items are prohibited. 

Greens Committee: Volunteers work to keep the neighborhood green and beautiful. They are responsible for the four public gardens and adding trees throughout the neighborhood. Currently TCNA hires a contractor to do the actual work. Goal is for one volunteer to oversee each garden and let the coordinator know what needs to be done.

Streets Committee: There are two major street projects, one each on Tuscany Road and Linkwood Road, to calm the traffic and make the neighborhood safer for all. A separate group works on each project.

Membership Committee: Welcome new neighbors and to make sure everyone knows about TCNA. The goal is to have one person in each area or building to reach out to new neighbors.

Events Committee: Events throughout the year provide a variety of opportunities for neighbors to get to know each other. In 2026 help is needed with the next Meetup event and also the yearly picnic.

Newsletter and Website Committee: Various types of help are needed. The newsletter is sent to 770 neighbors, and the website is viewed by hundreds of people each month within and outside the United States.

• Keep master email list up-to-date on Constant Contact
• Research information about events to be included in newsletter
• Webmaster to manage the TCNA website

Member of the TCNA Board: Officers and board member are elected at the June 2026 meeting for one year term. Get involved in a committee or come to a board meeting to see if you are interested in joining the board.

If you see a problem, have a question, or want to help, let TCNA know.

Baltimore City allows each neighborhood to schedule a dumpster four times each year. Anyone in the neighborhood may use the dumpster. 

It is delivered in the morning and is available for four hours. Please place your materials inside the dumpster.

Neighborhoods must adhere to the following rules or we will not be able to get a dumpster in the future.

Sam Park is the TCNA neighbor who coordinates this effort. Thank you, Sam

The items that are not allowed in the neighborhood dumpster can be taken to the 2840 Sisson Street site Monday to Saturday.  Hazardous Waste Collection is the first weekend of each month from April until October.

Water Pipe Replacement Work

Department of Public Works just notified TCNA that water pipeline installation work is suspended indefinitely until further notice due to the many water main breaks throughout the city. Currently 40 crews are working around the clock 24/7 to restore the lines. 

Water pipe work that still needs to be completed. The new pipelines still need to be tied in to the water main.

• 3 tie ins at the Gardens of Guilford
• 1 tie in at the intersection of 39th and Stony Run Lane when that section’s water pipeline installation work is completed.
• 1 tie in at the intersection of Stony Run Lane and Stoneyford. 
• 1 tie in at the intersection of Stoneyford and Linkwood.
• 1 tie in at the intersection of Linkwood and Ridgemede.

There is no water flowing in any of the new lines yet because pressure testing, water charging, and water quality testing must be completed after the pipe installation work and tie in work have all been completed. This is the last phase after all the water pipelines have been installed in the streets as well as all the water tie ins and all the testing has been completed in the locations listed above. 

Water will be shut off to nearby residences and complexes sequentially during last phase with advance notice. 

There are still water pipes that need to be replaced on Stony Run Lane.

The above process is expected to take a couple of more months at least probably longer. Finally, after completing all pipe work, all streets where pipelines have been laid will be repaved. This may occur some time in the late spring early summer depending how everything goes. 

Phase 1: Purple, Stoneyford, DONE

Phase 2: Red, Linkwood Road from Stoneyford to Ridgemede, DONE

Phase 3: Green, Stony Run Lane North and South of Stoneyford Road,

Pipes still need to be replaced in this section.

Updates: January 13 Meeting

The Department of Public Works made it clear it that it wants to close the Sisson Street Northwest Citizen Drop-off Center, while simultaneously presenting data that the center is – by far – the most heavily used recycling facility in Baltimore.



The conflict between agency objectives and public popularity was on display during the virtual meeting of the Sisson Street Task Force, charged by Mayor Brandon Scott to recommend whether to close, move or retain the city-owned trash and recycling center at 2840 Sisson Street, whose land has long been coveted by Seawall Development.

Recommendations to Mayor by March

Every afternoon, Jack talks to the construction supervisor to determine exactly where they will be working the next day. He then sends an email to the buildings presidents or managers to notify their residents. A notice is also posted on the TCNA website.

If cars aren't moved by 7 AM, the work is delayed while cars get towed. The construction crew has commended the neighbors every day for moving their cars. They have said that we are the best area in the City in helping them get started each day and therefore getting the work done more quickly.

If you see Jack, be sure to thank him. He and the TCNA board are planning a special thank you to the construction crew.

THANK YOU JACK
