Summer 2026 Newsletter

Beginning July 6, REPAVING WORK begins on Linkwood Road at University Parkway

The work will begin at University Parkway and will continue on Linkwood Road to Ridgemede Road until it is completed. This phase is anticipated to run through July 17. Then the work is anticipated to continue on Tuscany Road.

July 6 and July 7: 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM, access for vehicles in and out of the Hopkins House Garage will be not be available.

Both sides of Linkwood will be done. The areas on the street on where there is no parking on the street will be marked by barrels. It is critical to let everyone know that there will be no parking along this section of Linkwood Road.

There will be one lane traffic with flaggers so vehicles can drive on Linkwood from north to south.

Once Linkwood Road is done, work will start on the 200 block of Tuscany Road. Then work will continue on Stoneyford Road and Stony Run Lane.

When TCNA receives more information, we will post it under Latest News on the TCNA website. It will also be sent to neighbors on individual blocks and/or condo and apartment buildings.

New Board Members

At the June meeting three new board members were elected.

Martin Gray

Martin has lived in Tuscany-Canterbury for many years at his condo in the Ridgemede. Martin says, "Tuscany-Canterbury is one of the best secrets in Baltimore. It feels less like a typical city, and more like living in a village where neighbors are friendly and engaging. The streets are safe enough to take a stroll after dark. The 20th century architecture gives the whole community a charm that never gets old. A major highlight that it continues to rank among the safest place to live in the city. I love it here - let's keep this secret between us."

He brings over 25 years of professional experience in the aviation industry, coupled with a background in community governance and business ownership.

Martin previously served as a board member, and board president of a nationally registered historic condominium association. In that role, he oversaw association , resident relations, vendor management, and financial oversight, while ensuring adherence to the standards required of a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

He is the owner of an interior styling business serving the Washington, DC and Baltimore metro areas. Services include home interior styling, residential organization, and premium custom closet design.

Emily Licht

Emily Licht grew up in West Philadelphia, and before moving to Baltimore in 2024 she lived previously in Providence, Santiago de Chile, San Francisco, and Chicago. Emily and her family were drawn to Tuscany Canterbury for its perfect mix of natural beauty and urban density, landscape and community.

Emily is an architect with a special focus on large cultural institutions and higher education. Beyond work, she enjoys spending time with her family, playing with their two new kittens, and baking cookies.

Frank Johnson

Frank Johnson lives with his wife Jeanne and their two dogs, Stella and Zöe, in the University Homes section of Tuscany Canterbury. Originally from southern California, he considers himself a life-long-learner.

Frank came to the east coast to complete his undergraduate studies at Lafayette College, Easton PA, after which he traveled to Louisiana, where he was awarded a Fine Arts Fellowship at the University of New Orleans (UNO). Soon after his departure from UNO, Frank enlisted in the US Air Force and served at Mt. Home and Sheppard AFB (1998-2007). Once completing two terms of service, Frank arrived in the DC Metro area and found work with government contractors and the federal government. Over the next decade, Frank achieved a Green Belt in Lean & Six Sigma, master's degree in education, and an additional master's in management leadership.

While a Branch Manager of the Training Centers Division of the Transportation Security Administration, Frank moved to Baltimore City during the pandemic. Initially he and his family lived in Station North, where he served on the board of the Greenmount West Community Association. Only two years after his arrival, Frank and his wife Jeanne became enchanted with the Tuscany Canterbury community. They purchased a home on Cloverhill Road and expect to live out their retirement in that very home.

Tuscany-Canterbury Public Safety Updates

Garth Thompson, Chair of TCNA Public Safety Committee

Jack Boyson

Tuscany-Canterbury (with 4000 residents and 1800 homes and condo/ apartments) is one of the safest neighborhoods in Baltimore.

Northern District Police

Summer Safety Suggestions and Tips

Keep outdoor lights on outside your condos and on your porches 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 are going away even for a few days, tell a neighbor who can keep an eye and ear out for anything unusual and check for mail and/or newspapers daily, even if you have them on hold.

If you see something suspicious happening, call 911 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

TCNA Streets Committee Report

Summer 2026 Updates

Brandon Eilertson, Committee Chair

Stony Run Path Along Linkwood Road

TCNA is waiting for an opinion from Baltimore City DPW and DOT to determine if Linkwood Road can safely support a trail. We are also waiting for a final implementation plan from Baltimore City DOT on Tuscany Road. Any improvements on Tuscany Road can only occur after repaving of the segment of Tuscany impacted by the recent water line replacement project.

Highfield and Charles Street Intersection

A letter is being submitted to Baltimore City DOT on behalf of TCNA, requesting updated road markings and the move of a no parking sign, to improve visibility of the Highfield-Charles intersection.

Please let us know if you have ideas or concerns about streets or traffic issues.

Greens Committee

Eric Elton and Patrick Mutch, Committee Co-Chairs

Board Member of Friends of Stony Run: Eric Elton

TCNA Gardens Committee

TCNA has adopted public spaces and created four neighborhood gardens. With the help of TCNA volunteers and contracted services with Mark Pratt, routine weeding and mulching of the four neighborhood gardens was done in the spring. Work on the gardens continued in the summer. Periodically, the TCNA Greens Committee will replant, refresh, and water the gardens.

Calvert School Updates

Calvert Liaison Report, Amy Mutch, Chair
Calvert's Calendar

Calvert Liaison Committee Report, Summer 2026

The Calvert/TCNA Liaison Committee met on May 20, 2026 for the final mandated meeting under the terms of the historic Restrictive Covenants established in 2001. All members were present: Arna Margolis, Kathleen Robinson, Steve Frazier, Ferd Latrobe, and Amy Mutch from TCNA with Andrew Holmgren, Headmaster and Tom Travers, CFO of Calvert School.

Together we recognized the commitment of our communities, both school and neighborhood, to find common ground and to work together. This was exemplified by recent water-main work on Tuscany that reqired ongoing dialogue between Calvert, TCNA, Baltimore City Public Works and subcontractors. Jack Boyson, TCNA board member, was instrumental in assuring the work schedule caused minimal disruption to Calvert carpools. Only the paving is left for completion this summer.

TCNA expressed appreciation for the article by Andrew Holmgren to parents regarding carpool restrictions to keep the streets less congested this spring. TCNA noted the benefit of the sandwich board at Stoneyford Road, and Calvert committed to attending to its consistent placement.

Updates included:

Calvert has replanted trees along the Tuscany bank.
A streetlight obscured by overgrowth from the woods in the rear of Tuscany Court requires a resolution between BGE and Calvert.
The annual Stoneyford bank cleanup is routinely done in August.
The newly acquired property at 4220 N. Charles Street will undergo tree removal for safety this summer.
Molly’s Garden is completed.
The middle school campus will have a new gazebo, due to the deteriorating condition of the current structure.

I hope all neighbors enjoy their summer and know that if any urgent concerns arise, Calvert is accessible through the TCNA liaison committee.

STREET LIGHTS

July Updates

There have been many issues with street lights this year. The two columns below show which lights are still out, which lights have been repaired, and the time it took BGE or the City to repair or replace the street lights.

Street Lights Reported and Not Repaired

On Linkwood north of Stoneyford (1)
Tuscany Road 200 block (1)

Street Lights Repaired 2026

100 Block Tuscany Road (10 lights) out for 12 weeks
Stony Run Lane (1 light) out for 10 weeks
Tuscany and Ridgemede (10 lights) repaired in 2 days

Street Lights Help Deter Crime!

TCNA found out the fastest way to get a street light repaired is to do the following:

If you see a street light that is out, call the BGE emergency hotline at 1 800 685 0123, then select option 2 (electrical outages), followed by option 5, to report street light outages.

Be prepared to provide the following information:

(1) location/address of the street light outage

(2) pole number (each light pole has an identification number midway or higher on the light pole)

Then email presidentTCNA@gmail.com and TCNA will follow-up.

If you can't do the above, email TCNA and we will call BGE.

Special thanks to neighbor and board member, Jack Boyson, who follows up with BGE until each street light problem is resolved.

Water Main Break

100 Block Tuscany Road since June 10

Numerous calls have been made to 311 and Baltimore City for help. The water keeps running from the underground main in front of the entrance to Calvert School to the drain at Stoneyford Road.

In Baltimore City, it's the law to immediately remove dog feces from both private and public property. This includes streets, sidewalks, parks, and other public areas. Fines for failing to do so can range from $100 to $1,000.

There are trash containers throughout the neighborhood that are available for neighbors to use.
