The History of the Ma and Pa Railroad! 
June TCNA Meeting Speaker: Craig Sansonetti
Director of the Ma and Pa Railroad Preservation Society
 
The Ma and Pa railroad went through Tuscany-Canterbury along the Stony Run.
                  
At our June 15th TCNA Neighborhood meeting, Craig Sansonetti, Director of the Ma and Pa Railroad Preservation Society, will present on the railroad’s history – including its passage through Wyman and Linkwood Parks at the edge of Tuscany-Canterbury! From 1901 to 1954 the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, affectionately known as the Ma & Pa, connected Baltimore and York, Pennsylvania, over a circuitous 77-mile route . The main line traveled northeast from Baltimore across the rolling Maryland hills through Towson and Bel Air.

Looking for a fun day trip? The Ma and Pa Railroad Preservation Society operates the authentic circa-1900's historic Ma & Pa Railroad Heritage Village at Muddy Creek Forks in York County, Pennsylvania. The train, store, and buildings are open during its operating season (June - Sept). The grounds are open for self-guided tours year-round. You can tour the many exhibits of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad along with visiting the train station, post office, telephone exchange, authentic cash register, and grand staircase. In addition, there are train rides on our maintenance train. Picnic tables are available along with a large wrap-around porch to just sit and enjoy the scenery. Nearby is the Wallace-Cross Mill, one of the few water-powered grist mills remaining in York County. Along with the mill, the famous Maple Lawn Farms Orchard and Corn Maze Park are nearby. Just down the road are many wonderful eating establishments. 

Check them out at https://maandparailroad.com/.
Ma & Pa Railroad connected northern Baltimore with the small town of York, Pennsylvania.  

The Ma and Pa went along the Stony Run through Tuscany-Canterbury until 1958.
President's Message
Julia Frazier
Hello Tuscany Canterbury neighbors!

Recently, I have enjoyed watching the neighborhood gardens come alive, and seeing so many people out walking, chatting, and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. I hope you are enjoying it too!

As usual, this newsletter is full of valuable and interesting information. From gardening projects, to our guest speaker at the upcoming general membership meeting in June - from community events and timely parking permit information, there is a lot going on! Be sure to read all the way through, and keep yourself informed. Many thanks to those who work so diligently to create this terrific source of information for Tuscany Canterbury residents.

It's hard to believe I'm completing my first year as President, and I thank everyone who has been in contact with me with thoughts, questions, praises and concerns. I have enjoyed witnessing the way in which our neighbors work together to make our corner of the city more cohesive, more beautiful, and such a wonderful place to live. I've seen people looking out for each other, checking in when help might be needed. This is where it all begins, in our own backyards, decks and alleys. Thanks to all who contribute to making Tuscany Canterbury a healthy, vibrant and supportive community.

Be well everyone, and I hope to see you at our general neighborhood meeting on June 15th!

Julia

Public Safety Committee
Paul Gallo, Committee Chair
Tuscany-Canterbury Crime by Month
Tuscany-Canterbury is one of the safest neighborhoods in Baltimore. Tuscany-Canterbury is home to 3800 people in 1700 homes, condos, and apartments.

The two larcenies in the neighborhood during the past month were from parked cars. The aggravated assault was a domestic issue and isolated.
Tuscany-Canterbury Safety Suggestions

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.

Thieves can fool your vehicle into unlocking by capturing the signal emitted by your key fob and relaying it to your car. You can protect your vehicle by blocking your car key signals, using the following techniques: Store your car keys in a safe place, out of range of your car.
Police Department wants public input to redraw geographic boundaries.

Baltimore Police Department is planning to redraw district boundaries to respond to changes in the city's demographics and distribution of population as reported in the 2020 Census data. The redistricting could affect police response times and number of personnel assigned to our district.

BPD is collecting input on its website here:

The Baltimore Police Department is seeking public input as it prepares to redraw the geographic boundaries of its nine police districts. Public feedback will be examined along with data related to calls for service, crime trends, high violence areas, and population changes. The feedback and all data will be used to determine the new boundaries and reallocate resources and personnel.

Calvert School Project Update
May 2022: Progress on the Athletic Field

If you have walked or driven by the project site on Tuscany Road, you will notice that the retaining wall is complete and the field is now pretty much on grade, which makes it a little easier to imagine what it will look like when the project is complete. A number of neighbors on Tuscany and Ridgemede Roads have voiced concerns about the size, location and potential noisiness of the cooling tower that was installed on the northwest corner of the field. The tower replaces that A/C system that was previously located behind the headmaster’s house and will provide air conditioning to the Middle School. A meeting was held on May 9th at the construction site to give residents an opportunity to witness the sound level coming from the unit at full throttle.
What’s next?

1.    Most of the large equipment has been removed from the site. The two large pieces of equipment that are still there should be removed soon.

2.    The current plan for camouflaging the cooling tower is to create a 6-8 ft. dirt berm around much of the unit (leaving an opening on the facing the headmaster’s house for maintenance access) and then planting evergreen trees (probably Arborvitae) on the top of the berm, which should happen in the next couple of weeks.

3.    Also, in the next couple of weeks, top soil, (the large mound of dirt to the left of the athletic center), will be spread on the field after the irrigation system is installed. Sod will be laid in July to give it time to mature before school is back in session in the fall.

4.    The remainder of the landscaping will now be completed in September after the summer heat as supply chain issues caused delays in constructing the wall and completing the field.

As always, we welcome your comments and concerns. Please e-mail us at TuscanyProjectCommittee@gmail.com and someone will get back to you quickly.
Summary of May 9, 2022 Meeting with Calvert School

Here is a brief summary of what took place at the pre-arranged meeting on Monday, May 9 at 5 PM on the sidewalk outside of the Tuscany Road property where Calvert School is extending its athletic field. The purpose of the meeting was to hear from Calvert School representatives regarding questions raised by TCNA members related to the new HVAC unit installed on the property. Calvert was represented by Andrew Holmgren, its Headmaster and Tom Travers, Director of Finance and Operations, as well as by their Director of Facilities and the foreman of the company building the new field and squash facility. Calvert did not bring an engineer. There were about 15 TCNA people present, including Julia Martin Fraser, TCNA's President, as well as our City Councilwoman Odette Ramos. 

Headmaster Holmgren explained that Calvert bought the property in 2018. As a precondition to that purchase, Calvert entered into an agreement with TCNA which described the building which Calvert intended at that time to construct on the property which would house a squash court. The 2018 Agreement also included other terms and conditions related to construction and use of the building and of the property. This 2018 agreement was an amendment to an earlier 2001 restrictive covenants agreement entered into between Calvert and TCNA and other neighborhood associations. The 2001 Agreement was first Amended in 2008. Holmgren stated that subsequent to the 2018 Agreement Calvert decided to locate the squash court elsewhere on its property and, instead, to use the property to relocate part of its athletic field. As a result, TCNA and Calvert entered into another agreement at the close of 2021 called
The Third Amendment to Agreements of Restrictive Covenants. The purpose of this Agreement was to recognize the change in the use of the Tuscany Road land by Calvert. This agreement keeps in place all of the relevant limitations on Calvert contained in the 2001, 2008 and 2018 Agreements. The one specific provision in the Third Amendment relating to the athletic field extension is to establish that the standards applicable to residential properties in the Baltimore City health code apply to the HVAC equipment installed on the Tuscany Road property.

Holmgren stated that new HVAC equipment needed to be installed on this property because the existing HVAC unit would have been in the middle of the new playing field. He said that the unit could not be placed on the roof of the middle school and that there was nowhere else to put it. He said the location on the site was its highest point. This was necessary so that the cooling unit would not have to pump water uphill. He indicated that the unit serves only the middle school, just as had the unit near his house which had to be removed. He said that he expected that the noise levels would be even lower after all of the installation work had been completed because a berm would be built around the unit and 8 foot tall evergreens would be planted on top of the berm. These trees would quickly grow to at least 12 feet high. 

Several questions were asked by TCNA members in attendance. Calvert's facilities director and the project superintendent said

  1. They were sure that the berm and the trees would reduce the transmission of sound even further .
  2. They said that there were technologies available to increase sound dampening if that proved to be necessary.
  3. There is only one motor and that is accessible because it is outside of the unit. Calvert representatives acknowledged that the unit would not run only from 7 AM or so to 5PM because, in fact, it would be controlled by thermostats in the middle school. The middle school would be at room temperature during the day and the thermostats would be set at around 80 after the school day.
  4. One TCNA member expressed concerns about a continuous sound which she described as sounding like a mosquito in flight. There was recognition from the Calvert school technical people that this could be an acoustical sound coming from the unit.
  5. Calvert representatives also acknowledged that the unit has been turned on and off but has not been tested or observed by the manufacturer in operation yet.

TCNA members asked Calvert if it would agree to install any required sound dampening equipment now rather than later. Calvert's response was that it wanted to wait until the project was completed before making any decisions regarding whether sound dampening was necessary. Calvert did promise to remain open to further discussion if TCNA members experienced unpleasant sound effects caused by the new HVAC equipment on the Tuscany Road property. The meeting ended at about 5:45 PM.

As the weather improves and we all start to head outdoors, two reminders about keeping our streets safe:
Bigger Vehicles, Bigger Blind Spots. I’m sure we’ve all noticed larger and more powerful trucks and SUVs on neighborhood streets in recent years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons made up an all-time low of 31 percent of vehicles produced in the U.S. in 2020. SUVs, minivans and pickup trucks are now almost seven out of ten vehicles on American roads. 

Source: EPA Automotive Trends Report for 2020, https://www.epa.gov/automotive-trends/highlights-automotive-trends-report
The increase in vehicle size has corresponded with an increase in “frontover” incidents in which kids are injured or killed in crosswalks and on driveways. After some high-profile incidents, TV station WTHR in Indianapolis produced an infographic showing the length of the front blind spots of some of the most popular SUVs on the market.

Source: WTHR.com “13 Investigates: Millions of vehicles have unexpected, dangerous front blind zone” April 25, 2019 https://www.wthr.com/article/news/investigations/13-investigates/13-investigates-millions-vehicles-have-unexpected-dangerous-front-blind-zone/531-9521c471-3bc1-4b55-b860-3363f0954b3b
 Twenty is Plenty.
Did you know your risk of killing a pedestrian while driving a motor vehicle approximately doubles with every 10 MPH increase in speed? At 20 MPH, there’s at least a 7 percent chance that a car-on-pedestrian crash will kill the average pedestrian. At 30 MPH, that rises to closer to 20 percent, and at 40 MPH it’s 36 percent. These statistics were included in a 2011 study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. As noted above, the increasing size of vehicles on our roadways is making these statistics outdated, and most likely the figures above understate the average fatality rates in 2022.

Source: “Unsafe at Many Speeds,” Lena V. Groeger, published in ProPublica May 2016. https://www.propublica.org/article/unsafe-at-many-speeds

The risk also varies by the size and design of your vehicle, the angle of impact, how much the pedestrian weighs, and the pedestrian’s age, among other factors. A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety suggests that you have a 100 percent chance of killing a pedestrian at 40 MPH when driving an SUV, for example.

As national pedestrian fatality figures have spiraled upwards over the years, federal safety regulators are taking action. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which assigns those coveted “five star safety ratings” to all vehicles sold in the U.S., is proposing to implement a “crashworthiness pedestrian protection testing program” that would measure how well passenger cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles protect pedestrians in the event of a crash.

In the City of Baltimore, the Complete Streets Manual adopted in 2021 requires the Department of Transportation to prioritize the safety of people walking, biking, and using public transit in the design of future street improvements. Projects being implemented in and around Tuscany-Canterbury starting in 2022 will be fully-compliant with the manual.

In the meantime, lay off the accelerator a bit and be aware of your surroundings whether you’re inside or outside of a moving vehicle.

TCNA May Gardens Update

39TH STREET GARDENWith design assistance from Charles Brenton, native sedges have been planted in the garden. We aimed to ameliorate the drainage ditch alongside the interior sidewalk. We may possibly need to find “water” for that garden later this summer.

OVAL GARDEN at Tuscany and Ridgemede: We are exploring options to upgrade the garden with the addition of native, hopefully very drought tolerant plants; some this fall and others next spring (where the crabgrass will hopefully be eradicated). Charles Brenton is advising us on this garden planning.
