DEMONSTRATION BLOCK

""'LIUU IIlUT

The block in the Harlem Park Area bounded by Calhoun and
Carey streets , Edmondson and Harlem Avenues, was selected
as the proving ground for residential rehabilitation methods.
The small houses , sheds, and garages that lined the interior of

park. Most of the properties in the block have been brought up
to the standards of the City's health, safety, and building codes,
which, with fi ve additional requ i rements, serve as the base of
rehabilitation. Thirteen houses, of which four are completed,
are being remodeled beyond the legal requirement s . An eva lua~

~~WffjL~TY~~

Dear Neighbor,
Only your presence at City Council on Wednesdqy, November 3 @ 7: 30 P.M.
City Council Chambers can assure defeat of the $58,000,000 expressway through
our Mt . Royal - l~ . Vernon neighborhood .
For four years now a six lane, high speed thruw~ link has been planned
separating the IiYric Theater and the Mt . Royal station, cutting through the
back fences of Tyson Street, through restored "Antique Row" on Howard Street,
through the Deutsches Haus, Richmond Market and scores of houses . The town
houses that surround Mt . Calvary Chur ch will be demolished, leaving the church
isolated in a maze of access lanes and highway signs . In Plan C, the recommended
plan, a 40 mile-an- hour exit ramp will spill into Mt . Royal Avenue beside the
entrance to the Lyric Theater.
Concrete highway bridges with brilliant, tal l-pole lights will be built
t o carry the traffic of Howard Street, Preston Street and Mt . Royal Avenue
over the Expressway. The Interstate Truck Traffic attracted by this shortcut
through the heart of Baltimore will compete with the noise of the B &amp; trains
in our area, but on a twenty four hour basis . Overhanging green signs, designed to Federal Bureau of Roads standards will be necessary on Dolphin street,
Mt . Royal Avenue and several other neighborhood locations.

°

St . Mary 1s Seminary, Maryland General Hospital and the University of
Baltimore1s new library will be left teetering on the brink of the Expresswqy
ditch. $500,000 in annual City tax revenue will be lost forever by the razing
of homes and businesses in the path of the road and its interchanges, but the
lowering of property values in the area has not even been guessed at .
IrOnically, while the State and Federal Agencies , aided by the Administration Forces were pushing through the completion of the Jones Falls Expresswqy
this spring, it was repeatedly brought to light that this expressway link in
our own neighborhood serves no useful purpose . The official who had previously
been the road 1s strongest advocate , Mr. Philip Darling, then Director of
Planning, stated publically that the link was not necessary.
In response to this revelation, Ordinance 1102 has been introduced to
remove the threat of the link from the Bolton Hill and Mt . Vernon neighborhood.
But a three quarters vote of the City Council is required to wipe this road
off the plans of the highway engineers .
Your active presence at the hearing before the Judiciary Committee of the
City Council at 7: 30 P.M on Wednesday, November 3 is needed ! If you represent
.
a group -- be it a block organization, a club, or an institution - - your voice
is essential! Several groups and institutions have alreadY stated their

�...

disapproval of the link, among them the Mar,yland Institute , the Mt . Royal
Improvement Association, Mt . Calvar,y Church, St . Mar,y ' s Seminar,y , the Tyson
Street Association - -- and others .
But twenty one Councilmen from four corners of the City must be made to
realize-the importance of what appears to them to be a local issue . The progress we have made in renewing the heart of Baltimore must not be sacrificed
to this needless engineer ' s nightmare.
Sincere~

yours,

The Board of Directors of the
Mt . Royal Democratic Club
Thomas Ward , President
Joseph Robinson, Chairman
Civic Affairs Committee

The complete Urban Renewal Files (URF) collection at the University of Baltimore consists of 5 linear inches of archival records, which are described in an online collection database. The complete collection has also been digitized at the folder level and is also available in the collection database.

                  <text>This exhibit presents documentation related to Baltimore's urban renewal efforts during the 1960s. The files include correspondence, speeches, editorials, newsletters, flyers, and maps from Baltimore City and Baltimore County. Renewal plans for the neighborhoods of Bolton Hill and Mount Vernon are highlighted, along with responses from neighborhood residents and homeowners' associations.&#13;
&#13;
The complete Urban Renewal Files (URF) collection at the University of Baltimore consists of 5 linear inches of archival records, which are described in an online collection database. The complete collection has also been digitized at the folder level and is also available in the collection database. For this exhibit, 20 documents have been selected from the complete collection.</text>
