39th Street Calming Plan
You Made the Difference!
| |
|
Your calls and emails to the Mayor's Office made the difference. Finally the director of BCDOT (Baltimore City Department of Transportation) approved the pending Developer's Agreement 1820 for the Traffic Calming Project on 39th Street between University Parkway and the Canterbury Circle.
This topic will be discussed at the TCNA Board Meeting on May 15 and more information about the next steps will be in the May/June TCNA newsletter.
| |
Parking at The Social, 3900 N Charles Street | |
On April 18, TCNA met with Councilwoman Odette Ramos and The Social's parking manager and property manager. Information was provided about the parking plan and what The Social must do for any parking changes to be approved. | |
|
|
The Social removed all the public parking signs and no public parking signs will be put up in the future without TCNA's approval.
The main goal for the "Public Parking" was to control the visitors to their building and charge the visitors to park on the 45 space outdoor lot who come into the building.
More to be discussed at the TCNA May Board meeting and complete information will be in the next TCNA newsletter. Information will be posted on the TCNA website under "Ongoing Projects".

Relocation of the JHU Early Learning Center to University Parkway and San Martin Drive | |
Johns Hopkins presented more detailed plans about the relocation of the Early Learning Center to the vacant lot at San Martin and University Parkway, at the Zoom meeting held on April 24. The goal is for the new building to be ready for children in January 2026. | |
|
|
JHU's Early Learning Center, currently at Wyman Park Drive and San Martin Drive, will be moving to University Parkway by January 2026.
There are currently 96 children in the Center and the new Center will be for 152 children. The Center is primarily for children of employees and staff of JHU. Downtown Baltimore Children Center will continue to run the center. Parking will be provided for staff of the Center and for parents. The entrances to the Center will use the former Carnegie building drive between University Parkway and San Martin Drive.
