Masterplan decides future of Patterson Park BY GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

After 18 months of planning, 3 public meetings, and dozens of workshop groups, the Patterson Park Masterplan is complete. On Tuesday, October 20, the Friends of Patterson Park and the Department of Parks and Recreation presented the final plan. The plan featured many community suggestions as well as solutions to the problems that neighbors raised. One of the biggest complaints was the amount of vehicular circulation in the park. To combat this, the plan has less drivable routes and entryways into the park and more parking outside the park. Two inputs will be at Baltimore St. and Linwood St. A driveway off Linwood will create 20 new parking spaces. One of the most hotly disputed issues during the course of planning was the fate of the Dominic Mimi Dipietro Ice Rink. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Hogan unveils $135 million plan for transportation reform by GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Last week, Governor Larry Hogan announced a plan to improve mass transit. The $135 million plan will work to upgrade the state’s bus system through a system called CityLink. CityLink will be 12 new colorcoded bus routes that traverse high-frequency areas. Hogan added that the current routes will be redesigned. The new high-frequency routes will connect Call me today to hear about these optional features: New Car Replacement, Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Rewards.

riders to other forms of transportation, like the Metro or MARC train. They will be located at White Marsh, Pikesville, BWI Airport, Towson Town Center and more. “The bottom line is that Baltimore’s current transit system is a mess. It is poorly integrated and simply does not make any sense,” said Hogan at a press conference on Thursday, October 21. CityLink will also create six major transportation hubs that will connect commuters to various forms of public transits. A bike-share program will also be implemented. Other elements of the plan include improving express buses and installing bike and pedestrian paths in locations like Johns Hopkins Bayview. Hogan called CityLink a “transformative new vision for the future of transit in Baltimore” that will create a customer-focused system that is safer and cleaner. Hogan said he hopes this will help improve job accessibility and ease traffic concerns in the city. “Our new plan will connect Marylanders to 745,000 jobs in and around Baltimore and will

give 205,000 more people access to highfrequency transit,” said Hogan. There will be dedicated transit ways for north-to-south and east-to-east travel that cars will not be allowed on. The routes will run every ten minutes during rush hours and fifteen minutes during the rest of the day. “Our plan includes significantly enhanced east-west service to dramatically improve access for west Baltimore residents which will immediately carry more people between Security Square Mall and Charles Center Metro with arrivals coming every ten minutes.” Hogan added that riders would be able to travel anywhere in the city with only one transfer. Part of the funds for CityLink will be

spent on new technologies that will improve and speed up traffic lights at intersections to avoid congestion. “For the first time ever in history, the people of Baltimore, and those in the surrounding jurisdictions will be able to travel conveniently, efficiently and affordably from where they live to where they work,” said Hogan. In June, Hogan announced that the planned development of the Red Line, a light rail transit project, was cancelled. Since then, many, including Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake, have asked for an alternative from his administration. Rawlings-Blake was a strong supporter of the Red Line and said Hogan’s new plan doesn’t help to solve the problems of public transportation in Baltimore. “Governor Hogan’s proposal does little for the citizens of Baltimore who are in desperate need of forward-thinking transportation services to increase their access to jobs and better health care, childcare, and educational opportunities. I am still left without an answer to what happened to the $736 million in state transportation funding that Governor Hogan took away from the region and redistributed to highway projects across the state,” said Rawlings-Blake, who wanted more development in the West Baltimore corridor. CityLink is to begin immediately and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2017. To view a full map of the CityLink routes, visit www.mta.maryland.gov/citylink-map.

Concern from community arises over new zoning code by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

On Wednesday, October 21, the Department of Planning hosted a public meeting about the new zoning code and how it will impact the Southeast. At the Southeast Anchor Library, committee members displayed maps of all the districts, outlining the zoning code in each area. The committee members started by saying how impressed they were with the community turn-out. “We’re here to bring people up-to-date,” said Councilman Jim Kraft, who is also the vice chair. Kraft explained that the code had two parts, the text version and the map version. The text version defines the categories and rules while the maps outline where these categories will be applied per neighborhood. He said that they just started the map section and still have a way to go in getting it ready for final approval “This is not the end of the process. We are in the process so we will not be voting on these maps for some time because we have to continue the voting on the text because we cannot make the final decision on the map until we have the final decision on the text,” said Kraft. He added that the committee still has hundreds of amendments to looks through. They are still currently accepting suggested amendments from the community. Next, Laurie Feinberg, the Division Chief of Planning, gave a recap on the new zoning code’s main goals and initiatives. She said they were striving for better walkability for residents and the promotion of mixed-use development. Feinberg said that the current code, written in 1971, was created for a very different area. The nature of businesses and the industry has changed, she said, and the zoning code should reflect that. Long gone are the traditional factories of the 70s. They’ve been replaced with “integrated communities,” says Feinberg. For this type of community to succeed, the Department of Planning needs to work on a code that will guide development and promote job growth, she added. Another principle they wanted to honor was maintaining the character of the neighborhoods. Feinberg said that 95% of the zoning in primarily residential districts will remain the

same because no changes were desired. “If what’s there is working, leave it well enough alone,” she said. The new code will also work towards reducing non-conforming buildings that do not follow the underlying code and reuse abandoned buildings for combined mixed-use and development. Once Feinberg concluded the presentation, community members were allowed to speak to the committee. They were given three minutes to state their concerns and suggestions. First was Kathy Kellis, a Fell’s Point resident who lives on Bank St. She said she was worried about the maintenance of Fell’s Point as a historic district with the proposed C-1 and C-2 zoning that would be implemented. The C-1 and C-1 designations mean that buildings developed in that area can be up to 60 or even 100 feet high. Kellis didn’t want these designations to turn Fell’s into Harbor East. The allowable height of buildings was the most common concern for those who spoke. Another speaker was Elizabeth Manning who agreed with Kellis and told the committee that the process of creating the code has not been transparent to the public. “We don’t want to be a cookie cutter city. We don’t want to be like a chain restaurant where you see the same thing everywhere you go. One of most unique aspects of Baltimore City is the historic aspect of Fell’s Point and we need to maintain that fabric,” said Manning. Mike Adams, who lives on S. Chester St., shared Manning’s view on the committee’s transparency. He said that many people don’t know anything about what’s happening and that they aren’t aware of the amendments that are being evaluated. He said it’s crucial that they get involved in the process because they and their homes are the ones that will be the most affected. “There’s a lot of collective intelligence in Fell’s Point. There’s people on my block who could cut you up and transplant your organs. I think they can figure out a zoning code,” said Adams. The maps of zoning changes for the 1st district are available at the Rewrite Baltimore website at www.rewritebaltimore.org.

On Sunday, October 25, Nick Mosby, a councilman and husband to State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, announced he would be running for mayor. “My vision is to make Baltimore a 21st-century city, but the first step is old fashioned. We need to demand better. My mother and grandmother taught me to demand better of myself and those around me, and as your mayor I will demand better for our city and for our citizens,” said Mosby. In his announcement at the Reservoir Hill neighborhood, Mosby said as mayor he would work to improving the city’s schools,

reducing homelessness, and arming all police officers with body cameras. He also said that he wants the government to be more transparent and accessible for citizens. He referenced the unrest in April and said that Baltimore needs to fix the problems that led to Freddie Grey’s death and lead a renaissance in the city. “I have a question for each and every one of you. Are we willing to fight for a better Baltimore? Are we willing to fight against poverty, against illiteracy? Are we ready to fight to provide a world-class education for every single child in this city?,” he said. Mosby is a former engineer for Verizon and a project manager for the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company. He is currently the councilman of District 7 in West Baltimore. He said that his experience of being raised by a single mother and in a povertystricken neighborhood will guide his policymaking. In September, Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake announced she will not seek reelection in 2015. Since then a number of candidates have come forward announcing their campaign. Mosby will now go against Senator Catherine Pugh, Councilman Carl Stokes, former mayor Sheila Dixon, and more. For more information on Mosby and his campaign, visit www.mosbyformayor.com.

Refugee Youth Project supports and mentors displaced families by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Refugee children find support at the settlement center. | Photo courtesy of the Refugee Youth Project Every year, thousands of families are ripped from their homes due to famine, war, and other violence in their home countries. They come to America with nothing more than a dream and a desire to start a new life. The Refugee Youth Project is a program that helps these refugees in Baltimore settle into their new homes and become a part of the community. One of the project’s resettlement centers is in Highlandtown on Eastern Ave. This location helps children between 4 and 21-years-old through after-school programs. “The goal is really to increase the academic support for the kids and make their overall acculturation process easier by providing social and emotional support and services for them, because they need that guidance and because it is not always an easy transition to come to Baltimore, that’s for sure,” said Brittany Shen DeNovellis, the volunteer specialist at the Refugee Youth Project (RYP). DeNovellis said that they help the children through one-on-one mentoring. Many volunteers are from local colleges and universities. “A mentor gets matched with a youth and they meet one time per week for two hours and while they’re there, they get help with homework, and English practice, and learning American culture,” she said. The mentors and tutors do more than just teach, they act as a tour guide for the refugee as they explore their new home and adjust to all the changes that come along with it. For the older children in the program, they have classes about accessing college education and jobs. There’s also a 40-hour core resettlement orientation that teaches the necessities, like how to ride a bus or schedule appointments. The RYP functions as a non-profit through Baltimore City Community College and has

served over 5,000 families at three locations in its 30 years of service “The RYP is committed to its mission of creating a safe environment for refugee children to improve their literacy skills, enhance their knowledge of American culture, engage in enriching extracurricular activities, and grow to be confident, caring children,” states their website. These beliefs said DeNovellis, are what help the refugees succeed in becoming functioning and contributing members of the city. The RYP works to provide support and comfort because it’s likely the refugees didn’t have an easy journey to America. DeNovellis said the majority of families in the program are from Bhutan and Burma. She added that many other refugee camps were shut down, displacing many families from that region. Those in the program are spread throughout the city, so having a place like the resettlement center where they can come and connect is important. Earlier this month, DeNovellis reached out on Facebook to find a location for an annual Thanksgiving dinner that RYP, along with the International Rescue Committee, will host for the children. Breath of God Lutheran Church at 141 S. Clinton St. offered to help so the children can get a taste of a truly American holiday tradition. Donations are graciously accepted. “We’re always looking for monetary donations, of course, but also we’re trying to get some turkeys and some lemonade and Tupperware and sort of make a potluck out of it,” she said. For more information of the Refugee Youth Project, visit www.refugeeyouthproject.org. If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer or mentor, contact DeNovellis at rypvolunteer specialist@gmail.com.

New app/start-up that keeps you in the know. By Gianna DeCarlo

Loople co-founder Dave Phelan | Photo courtesy of Loople

What should we do tonight? The only thing worse than staying home on a Saturday night is waking up on Sunday, checking Facebook, and seeing your friends out having a great time at a party you had no idea was happening. Oftentimes, you just aren’t aware of all the cool stuff [events, specials, music] happening near you. That is where a new app called Loople comes in. Loople is a quick, mobile way to be in the know about where to get cheap drinks or see your favorite band or just go out for a night on the town. “Our goal is to create one platform where everyone can come to find the food specials, or drink specials, or live music. Basically, anything that’s happening at a bar or restaurant and what they have to offer, we’re highlighting it through our app,” said Dave Phelan, one of the co-founders of Loople. Loople works by presenting a user with a map of their general location based on a GPS. It’ll place a pin where a special event is happening. If you want to change your weekend routine, you can change the map to another neighborhood in Baltimore. He said that Baltimore is a social city and has such a diversity of fun and interesting things going on that many people, unfortunately, miss. “Loople helps solve the age-old question, ‘What should we do tonight?’ With all of the options in a major city at your fingertips, you can easily move around the map to see local hotspots,” states the Loople website. Phelan, who lives in Canton, says the app most closely documents the hot spots of Federal Hill, Fell’s Point, and Canton. You can narrow the specials down by categories, such as ‘pizza’ or ‘outdoor seating’, as well. If you’re feeling spontaneous, Loople has an “L” button which will bring up a random special. “It’s a great way to try something new and switch up your routine,” said Phelan. Launched in June, Loople currently only serves the Baltimore area. Phelan and the other two co-founders, Philip DiMuro and Ryan Gutleber, are working on perfecting the app before expanding it to other markets, like Philadelphia and Washington D.C. “The whole premise is to keep people in the loop. There’s so many specials every day, everywhere, but

it’s so hard to find out or get all that information in one place. It’s a great way to explore your city,” said Phelan. Local business owners can input their events through the app. Their submissions will then go to the admin verification center where the operators must approve it. When the app launched, the co-founders had already inserted a catalog of events so that it was usable from day one. It’s a symbiotic relationship and a good way to market a restaurant’s events while encouraging the use of a local start-up. Phelan calls the relationship with other businesses in the city a “partnership”. For example, last weekend Loople teamed up with the organizers of the Baltimore Craft Beer Festival. At the festival, Loople wristbands were given out and in exchange, Loople made a map of all the beer stands for the festival’s attendants. They also work closely with the Baltimore Social sports league and various trivia leagues. Each restaurant has its own “profile” where users can leave reviews, check-in, or upload pictures. Phelan compares it to Yelp, but with more focus on the events and specials. Currently, Loople has 5700 users and over 1200 events listed. Phelan and his partners drummed up interest for the app by making appearances at all the festivals, parties, and events in the city. They even hosted a 3-weekend long bar crawl when they first launched. Since the app is free, they raise the majority of their money through this grassroots marketing. Download available for iPhone and Android.

www.looplemobile.com Phelan and the other founders had the idea for over two years. They brainstormed as they went to college in Philadelphia but finally took the plunge, quit their jobs, and started Loople this year. All three of them have different backgrounds with different expertise. With this, they’ve learned how to delegate tasks to make the app, and the process involved with getting it to function, run smoothly. “We just want to help other people with what we, and Loople, offer,” said Phelan.

Daughter donates the perfect gift for her mother with breast cancer by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

Katie O’Neill is surprising her mother with an amazing gift. Her mother, Connie Meyers, was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer. “I wish I could take away her cancer, I wish I could take away the pain of the side effects from chemo, and I wish I could make all of this go away, but I can’t. But what I can do is donate my hair to mom,” she said. O’Neill had been donating her hair, which she said grows quickly, every two years for ten years. But her recent 5th donation is even more special. When she heard about her mother’s diagnosis, she decided to use her own hair to make a wig for her. She did some research and realized how expensive it was, almost $2000, especially for somebody who was living on a teacher’s salary. And when she mentioned it to her mom, she forbid it. O’Neill laughs and says “Typical mom answer.” However, O’Neill didn’t give up and knew she needed to do this for the woman who had given her so much. “My mom is the strongest person I know and I get my strength from her. This wig would make going through chemo manageable knowing that I am there with her.” She created a GoFundMe to pay for the wig. It was then she realized how much support she and her mother truly had. In less than 48 hours, her family and friends raised over $1,700. Dozens of people donated, including people

O’Neill hasn’t seen in over 20 years. “It was crazy. I really had no words. I have the best friends and family in the world. I’m forever in debt to everyone I’ve come across and I wish I could just pay them all back. I can’t even begin to express how blessed and thankful I am,” she said. Her mother was first diagnosed with breast cancer 17 years ago. At the time, O’Neill was only 13 and didn’t understand what was happening. Her parents kept the illness a secret to protect her. The family was devastated by the cancer’s resurgence, but still remained strong and provided each other the love and support they needed in such a trying time. The best part of her gift is that it will be a complete surprise. “She has no idea. I was going to keep it a secret, from everyone, but I decided to tell my step dad and he just starting crying. She has no clue,” said O’Neill. (So anyone reading this, if you know Connie, please don’t tell her.) O’Neill sent the hair to Minnesota this week to the facility that will make the wig. It should arrive in within 5-6 weeks, making it a perfect early Christmas gift for her mother. “My mom gave me life and I want to give her my hair,” she said. O’Neill is also g eust bartending on Wednesday, November 4 at Knotty Pine at 801 S. Conkling St. from 6-10 p.m. The event, “Burgers for Boobs” will raise money to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Partygoers are encouraged to wear pink and eat burgers for a good cause.

There have been numerous reports that Baltimore Orioles’ minor league pitcher Dylan Bundy will pitch in a Fall League this year, which is a good sign. Bundy has been with shoulder issues this year, so for him to pitch in this league is encouraging. Bundy missed three months this year with shoulder tendinitis and hopefully he can work to regain his form this fall. Bundy was drafted 4th overall in the 2011 amateur draft by the Orioles and has yet to make an impact on Baltimore’s roster. In fact, the only time Bundy sniffed the O’s roster was during the 2012 season where he pitched all of 1 2/3 innings. The hype around the young right-hander has been high but now it is getting to a point where it’s time to you-knowwhat or get off the pot. Sure, Bundy is only 22 years old (he will turn 23 in November) but injuries have derailed his promising career. Bundy pitched well in 2012 before missing all of 2013 due to injury. Bundy then pitched 41 1/3 innings in 2014 before tossing only 22 innings in 2015. In total, Bundy has pitched 168 2/3 innings since being drafted by the Orioles. Bundy was rated the #2 prospect in all of

baseball by MLB.com as well as Baseball America before the 2013 season. Before the 2014 season, Baseball America dropped his rating to 15th overall before rating him 48th overall before last season. Clearly there is talent there, but his ranking has been slipping as he spends more and more time hurt. His stats have been good when he has pitched. In Single A+ he has gone 7-5 with a 3.46 ERA and has struck out 81 batters in 83 1/3 innings pitched. While with AA Bowie, Bundy has posted a record of 2-3 with a 3.49 ERA and has struck out 38 batters in 38 2/3 innings. The talent is there for sure. Much of the issue with Bundy revolves around injuries. If he can stay healthy and get in a routine, he should be good. The main question is can he actually stay healthy for a whole season? Currently, the answer is no, but hopefully this Fall League will be the start of finally getting this young beast on the hill in Baltimore. With Wei-Yin Chen most likely heading out of town as a free agent this winter, the O’s will need some young arms to step up, and having Bundy as one of them will be an encouraging sign.

MASTERPLAN: long-term changes Residents urged the committee to keep the rink, but the building, if kept, would require costly repairs. As a result, the ice rink will be removed. “It’s got to go because it was built 50 years ago. People really like it, but the problem is that the only way it pays for itself is if we invite hockey leagues and they need a ton of parking and we don’t have it. It’s going to be relocated somewhere else,” said Scott Richman, who is on the steering committee. Richman added that there will be a “flex space” in the park where a newer, but much smaller ice rink, could be built. However, the first choice is to rebuild the complete ice rink somewhere close to the park. A new recreation and senior center will be built in the ice rink’s place. The project will be one of the most expensive of the Masterplan, costing between $6-7 million. Richman says this is an ideal space for a rec center for youth because of the proximity to the Utz Twardowicz Field and swimming pool. The organizers describe this space on the right side of the park as an “active core” where the most recreational activities will take place. He said the park’s program will be able to expand due to the new space. The tennis and basketball courts will also be renovated and possibly moved based on the size of the future rec center. The casino building will also be repurposed. Richman said the Aubudon Society expressed interest in using it for workshops. These will be the only larger changes in the plan. Other initiatives focus more on improving the management and state of the park for its users. “The plan is about protecting what is already here and making the existing resources better,” said Tom McGilloway, the principal of Mahan Rykiel Associates, the planning firm of the Masterplan. Such improvements include better lighting, an expansion for the community garden, tree plantings, new pavement and walkways, and

public bathrooms near the boat lake. Also, they want to improve communication within the neighborhood by better informing residents of upcoming events. McGilloway said that the plan was to be “ecological at the core,” meaning it wanted the park to remain environmentally friendly and sustainable. One part of the plan will the creation of “low-mow” areas where the grass will only be mowed 1 or 2 times a year. He said this will say money as well as being beneficial for the wildlife population. All of these changes will focus on preserving green space. “It’s small steps for big gains. We’re talking about things that over a period of time will represent really good change of the overall experience of the park and improve daily use,” An idea suggested at the previous meetings was creating an off-leash dog park. This idea was rejected due to safety concerns and disapproval from residents. As for how the park will get funding for all these changes, that’s a work in progress. Richman said that the committee is relying on partnership and collaboration. “The Friends of Patterson Park and Recreations and Parks are gonna form a committee to govern Patterson Park in a different way and they’re considering a bunch of different models,” he said. The final text of the Masterplan will be completed by November. It will then go to the Baltimore City Planning Commission for approval. The pilot programs will be implemented by the end of the year. The changes within the plan will dictate what will happen to the park for the next ten years. “The Masterplan is about connecting all the people and establishing the partnership so we can protect this great place over the coming years and help advance, improve it and make it better for everyone,” said McGilloway.
