BaltimoreLINK – New Bus routes coming June 2017
In October Governor Hogan announced a complete redesign of the Baltimore Bus system that includes some major changes tomass transit in our neighborhood. Changes to the bus lines in Waltherson are detailed below:
The 15/47 lines on Belair Road will be replaced with the Brown CityLink line. It would run from White Marsh Mall tothe West Baltimore MARC station by way of downtown.
The 19 line on Harford Road will be replaced by the 55. It runs from Perry Hall to State Center, connections todowntown and Goucher/Taylor would be eliminated.
Echodale Ave’s 44 line will be replaced by the 30. It would no longer go west of Belvedere Square and will go south toBayview.
Moravia Ave’s 33 line will be replaced by the 28. It would run from the West Cold Spring Metro station to MoraviaPark.
The new 33 line will touch our northeast boundary at Belair & Hamilton connecting us to Mount Washington andRosedale via Northern Parkway.
So far no announcements have been made concerning bus stops. We are told that the numbered LocalLink lines would havemore stops than the colored CityLink lines. This suggests that there will be fewer stops on Belair Road than Harford Road whenthe plan is implemented. The new schedules would have a bus on Harford Road each 15 minutes and one on Belair Road each10 minutes while current schedules list 5 local, 2 express, and 4 quickbus stops at Belair & Frankford and 6 local / 8 expressbuses at Harford & Echodale between 7 and 8 AM raising concerns whether the new system will be able to meet existingdemand from commuters and schoolchildren. Michael Walk, Director of Service Development for MTA, tells us that “this willlikely be fine-tuned as we move forward and get a better handle on anticipated needs. Second, we are analyzing the HarfordRd. corridor closely, because we do realize there is a good deal of ridership along that corridor. So, we'll keep this in mind aswe're crafting the final service plan based on public input. ”
MTA has taken community feedback and will be releasing a revised map sometime in April or May of 2016. We expect anothercommunity meeting to be scheduled at that time to review the plans.

Hamilton Gallery – 5502 Harford Rd
Hamilton Gallery | Hamilton Arts Collective is pleased to present the exhibitions
Tigh an Chnoic: New Work by Bart O’Reilly | gallery I guest artist exhibitionJinie Park: Reap/Sow | gallery II featured artist exhibition
May 6 – May 29, 2016GALLERY HOURS: Friday 4-8pm, Saturday noon-8pm, Sunday 11am-3pmFirst Friday Opening Reception – May 6, 5-9pmClosing Reception – Sunday, May 22, 1-3pm
Bart O’Reilly begins his paintings with the original space of the raw unprimed canvas. Bart improvisesthrough the application of acrylic paint and a limited palette of greens, golds and earth tones to seewhere the process takes him. His approach is as a meditation and an attempt to be present. The body ofwork is entitled Tigh an Chnoic because as a series they are strongly reminiscent of the landscape whereBart grew up, the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains.
Jinie Park creates paintings that reveal the experience between the unexposed and exposed parts in thecommon highway landscape. Her current body of work is inspired by her experience of commuting toand from Baltimore from Landover, Maryland over the course of six months. Park captures the momentsfrom the outside of a car window and tries to reveal these specific experiences through her painting by
drawing the view outside and revealing the inner parts of thesurface on the typically unexposed side.

NECOP – Northeast Citizens on Patrol
In Northeast Baltimore we have a district wide Citizens on Patrol program called NECOP. Thereasoning behind the COP program is that regular neighborhood patrols can make criminals feeluncomfortable and drive them out of our neighborhood. Communities with regular NECOPpatrols, such as the North Harford neighborhood, also see significantly less crime thancommunities with inactive patrols.
Participants meet at the Northeast Police station at 1900 Argonne Drive near Morgan State andan officer will give you a direct number to keep them in contact with the Police. You would thenproceed to patrol the neighborhood in your car. Patrols normally go out each Thursday andFriday from about 7:30 - 10:30. For anyone interested in the Citizens on Patrol program, pleasecontact Rob at [email protected]
