Dumpster Behind 4301 Buchanan Avenue   

Findings
The Department of Transportation has completed the requested investigation for the “no parking” and “vehicles towed at owner’s expense to Greenwood Garage” signs posted along the 1300 block of Roland Heights Avenue.

The posted signs are posted on private property and have no jurisdiction on the City street. Towing cars from the City street, based upon these signs is not legal.

However, to assist the management company in relationship to the dumpster on the side of 4301 Buchanan Avenue, we have issued work orders to install two “no stopping” signs to be posted on both sides of the driveways on Roland Heights Avenue, with a 10 foot clearance on both sides, to ensure access to the dumpster at all times. We expect installation of these signs to take place by June 1st. 

Sycamore Trees Planted on Weldon Circle   

Special Thanks to the Department of Forestry
Weldon Circle (Weldon Avenue) received 8 new plantings from the Department of Forestry. The new plantings are Sycamore Trees.  Sycamore Trees are a tree of rapid growth, reaching a good height in a short time. Trees ten years old are recorded as reaching twenty-five or twenty-eight feet in height, whilst the species reaches its full growth of from fifty to sixty feet at an age of as many years.

Appleby Way Street Dedication - Mrs. Doris Appleby and Family Special Thanks to Baltimore City Council and Mary Pat Clarke

The fair also provided the opportunity to thank Mrs. Dorris Appleby for her many years of service in tending to Weldon Circle. Appleby Way was named in her honor during a ceremony at the fair – a very big thank you to Mary Pat Clarke for presiding over the ceremony, and to all the volunteers that helped make the street naming possible.
