The Baltimore City Department of Transportation would like to advise motorists of the traffic modifications that will be in effect for the Casey Cares Foundation 5K Run and Walk which will be held on Saturday, August 02, 2014. The event begins at 8:00 a.m.  

The event will begin at the warehouse at Camden Yards. Participants will head east on Conway Street, right on Light Street, and left on Key Highway where they will turn around at Cross Street.   Runners will travel west on Key Highway and turn left on Battery Avenue, right on Montgomery Street and left on Hanover Street. Participants will then turn right on Hamburg Street, cross over the bridge and turn right between the two stadiums, left on Lee Street, and right on the service drive to the tunnel entrance for Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

In preparation for the event, one lane of travel will be coned off for participants wherever possible along the race route. Commuters should be advised that temporary traffic stops may be implemented during the event for the safety of participants. Motorists traveling in this vicinity should be on the watch for pedestrians and are encouraged to use alternate routes.

Make your Mark on the Park!  Your purchase of a custom engraved paving stone for Federal Hill Park’s new Playground pathway will assure ongoing park maintenance and future improvements.  Federal Hill Park’s Playground represents the Park’s rich history, sets a standard for future renovations, and makes the Park a destination for local families and visitors.  Order a paving stone on the South Harbor Renaissance website and leave a lasting legacy or pay tribute to your family or someone special, paving the way for generations to come.

From UofMD Baltimore — “On behalf of Dr. Kate Tracy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore I wanted to reach out and let you know about our research project. In the next few weeks you may see some of our surveyors in your neighborhood. They are all wearing bright yellow shirts with the Maryland Center for Excellence on Problem Gambling logo. We are trying to get community residents and business owners to fill out a survey that is capturing opinions on how the new Horseshoe Casino coming into downtown Baltimore will effect the communities directly surrounding it.

I wanted to contact the neighborhood association to let you know that our surveyors will be out and about and any cooperation is greatly appreciated. We look forward to meeting residents in your community.”

TreeKeepers classes are have been designed and will be taught by partners whose logos you see at the bottom of the page. We all believe that tree education is a key component to increasing Baltimore’s tree cover. In order to Transform Baltimore With Trees (the mission of Baltimore Tree Trust) we need to be well informed. We provide classroom and in the field learning activities that promote collaboration, enable discussion and make us all better caretakers and advocates for Baltimore’s trees. These classes appeal to individuals of all ages. After completion of the classes and participation at partner tree planting events, there will be a certificate awarded. These classes are fun!!
