Tuscany-Canterbury Neighbors Helping Neighbors
A group of neighbors on Canterbury and Cloverhill Roads have set up a "buddy system" to help people during the social distancing phase of the COVID-19 outbreak. It is very important for people at risk to avoid exposing themselves to virus. Those at risk of severe illness include: Elders and adults over 60 years of age; people with heart and lung disease; people with diabetes.
|
|
The Waverly Farmer's Market..
The Market has devised a Two Phase plan to allow for social distancing and promote safer shopping on Saturday mornings! A new temporary layout uses the back parking lot on 32nd street giving market shoppers much more room to stay 6 feet apart. And rest assured that your favorite vendors are still there!

The University of Baltimore launched the BeHeard Baltimore project to gather public opinion from Baltimore residents on the issues and events that are most important to them. The survey provides members of your community with the opportunity to help inform city leaders about their needs and views.
Joining BeHeard Baltimore is easy. City residents just need to go to the website –
http://beheardbaltimore.com/
– and click the Join Now button. There’s a short sign up questionnaire to complete, then individuals will receive notifications by email about new BeHeard Baltimore surveys.
Participants will be able to complete surveys at a time and location convenient for them. We would appreciate if you would forward this message to the members of Tuscany-Canterbury Neighborhood Association. If there are any questions, we invite people to contact us at
BeHeardBaltimore@ubalt.edu

Highfield House Condominium Construction
|
|
|
|
The Highfield House is undertaking complete restoration of the concrete plaza that runs underneath and behind the building. The work is necessary because the 55-year old flat concrete plaza is in poor shape and is allowing water to infiltrate the structural slab below the surface topping, which threatens the roof of the garage and some occupied spaces below.
The project has been delayed and should start by June 1st.

UPDATES
: JHU demolition project at the
Old Carnegie Building
|
|
UPDATE
: Old Carnegie Building
(115 W. University Parkway)
May 2020: The project is continuing, but they hit a bit of a delay waiting for BGE to disconnect power into the building. At this point, the interior demolition has been completed. Once BGE is able to disconnect the power, the structural demolition can begin. The demolition is anticipated to be completed by the end of June.

What ever happened to the sidewalk in the 3700 block of Charles Street where several seniors fell?
|
|
 |
The past history: The Northway was built in 1933 as a beautiful apartment building (3700 N Charles Street). It was sold in 2014 to be completely renovated as student apartments. The sidewalk was also to be redone. It was not completed in the renovations.
Fast forward several years to 2020.
Now the sidewalk has been completely redone. It is now safe for everyone to use.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.

What can be done about all the stumps throughout the neighborhood where City trees once grew? The City removes only the trees and leaves the stumps.
|
|
|
More trees in the neighborhood has been a priority of the TCNA Board. The Greens Committee has been working on this issue. They are currently locating all the stumps that exist in the neighborhood. Then TCNA will work to get them removed. If you are interested in helping, please let us know.
