BALTIMORE’S GREENEST NEIGHBORHOOD
President’s Message
The new 2015 board is off to a
great start at maintaining and improving
our fantastic neighborhood with your
help. As for PPNA itself, we have many
improvements underway including an
updated website and email platform. My
goal for this year is to improve communication to all members of our neighborhood particularly the newly merged
Patterson Place sector.
We are starting by communicating the agenda for the
monthly meetings in advance. I post them to our Facebook
page 1 week in advance: facebook.com/#!/PattersonParkNeighborhoodAssociation. We are hoping to be able to email
these as well with the new email platform.
We would also like to give our bulletin board a revamp.
It needs to be more visually captivating to current residents
and future residents. Do you have the skill to help with the
design? Are you always walking past the bulletin board and
could stop and post content? Please contact me.
I would like to welcome our new Newsletter Committee
Chair, Mazie Baskin. Mazie and her team produce this quarterly newsletter and will expand upon it. We hope to make the
content of the newsletter available on our website in real time
as part of our website overhaul.
Most of all I hope that I will be able to speak with you, the
residents of our Patterson Park Neighborhood, personally. I
hope to see you at our next monthly meeting, at Bloom Your
Block, or on a C.O.P. walk. I hope we have a variety of activities that will attract each one of you to join us at PPNA. Have
an idea for another activity? Contact me and we will see if we
can make it happen together.

A Message from
Councilman Kraft
James B. Kraft, District 1, Baltimore City
Greetings to all! The Southeast has seen
a great deal of growth in the past several
years, and my goal is to make sure that
the growth here in the 1st District benefits our families and neighborhoods. The
health and wellness of our kids is one of
my top priorities. To support this, my office is gearing up for the 5th season of the
Southeast Schools Little League. I am pleased to announce
that every school in the district is participating this year. Once
again, students in grades 4 and 5 will play games on Tuesday
and Thursday starting in April. Thanks to generous donations
of time and money from our sponsors, students in grades 6-8
will also be able to participate this spring in a separate age
bracket!
Children from a stable environment who are safe and healthy
at home have a head start. Unfortunately, not enough of our
children find themselves starting life in this place, so we end
up spending more money prosecuting, supervising, and imprisoning them than helping them get that head start they
need. Your support to Southeast Baseball gives all students
the opportunity to learn teamwork, cooperation, and sportsmanship on and off the field. I look forward to a great season!
During my tenure as Councilman of the First District, my
main priorities can be summed up by four goals: To keep the
Southeast safe, smart, green, and growing. I will continue to
strive for these goals during my remaining time as Councilman. While it is my full intention to be on the 2016 Primary
Ballot, I will not seek reelection to this seat as your First District Councilman. It is time for me to do something different.
I appreciate your continued support of my representation of
the Southeast. If you have questions, then please contact my
office at 410-396-4821 or email me at [email protected].
Columna del Concejal Kraft
James B. Kraft, District 1, Baltimore City
Saludos a todos! El sudeste ha visto un gran crecimiento en los
últimos años, y mi meta es asegurar que el crecimiento aquí en
el Primer Distrito beneficie a nuestros familias y vecindarios.
La salud de nuestros niños es una de mis mayores prioridades.
Para apoyar eso, mi oficina está preparando para la temporada
quinta de la Liga de Beisbol de las Escuelas del Sudeste. Estoy contenta a poder anunciar que cada escuela en el distrito
participará este año. De nuevo, estudiantes en los grados cuarto y quinto jugará en los martes y jueves, comenzando en
abril. Gracias a donaciones generosas de tiempo y dinero de
nuestros patrocinadores, ¡estudiantes en los grados sexto a
octavo podrán participar esta primavera en un grupo de edad
distinto!
Niños de ambientes estables quienes son seguros y saludables
en casa tienen una ventaja. Desafortunadamente, un número
insuficiente de nuestros niños comienzan la vida en ese tipo
de ambiente, y entonces gastamos dinero procesando, supervisando, y encarcelando ellos en vez de ayudándolos a conseguir las ventajas que necesitan. Su apoyo a la Liga de Beisbol
Sudeste da todos los niños la oportunidad para aprender trabajo en un equipo, cooperación, y deportividad en el campo
de beisbol y más allá. ¡Espero una gran temporada!
Durante mi tiempo como Concejal del Primer Distrito, mis
prioridades principales pueden ser resumidos por cuatro metas: asegurar que el Sudeste sea segura, inteligente, verde, y
creciendo. Seguiré luchando por esas metas durante el tiempo
que me queda como Concejal. Aunque es mi intención estar
parte la elección primaria de 2016, no buscará la reelección
como Concejal del Primer Distrito. Para mí, llegó la hora de
hacer algo diferente.
Le agradezco por su apoyo continuado de mi representación
del Sudeste. Si tenga usted cualquier pregunta, por favor llame
a mi oficina (410-396-4821) o envíeme un coreo electrónico:

Park Audobon Society
Every neighbor has a role
to play in adding patches of
habitat to welcome birds and
butterflies. No matter how
small or paved your space,
what you plant is important!
Audubon loves PattersonPark residents at our Wildlife Gardening Workshops,
and we know you are eagerly
planting Maryland natives that support a bird-friendly Baltimore. Remember to apply for colorful Audubon recognition signage, featuring the Baltimore oriole - a great way to brag to your neighbors about your success!
VOLUNTEER WITH AUDUBON
Ready to see the park through the Audubon lens? Can
you spare a little time to gain skills while helping birds
and your community? Audubon is seeking energetic
volunteers to assist us in our outdoor “classroom,” our
native habitat gardens, and in our indoor behind-thescenes preparations. Adult and student volunteers are
welcome to join the Audubon team!

Mayor’s Cleanup in Patterson Park
Clean up the neighborhood and earn a break in your Stormwater tax
Saturday, April 25 marks the city’s 16th annual Mayor’s Spring Cleanup event, and the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association is calling on you to join us for a day of community cleaning, raking, planting and painting. This year we’ll be focusing
our efforts in the North Sector. A city-provided dumpster will be available to us for the day, located at North Linwood near the
Patterson Park Library. Come out and join us along with partner Banner Neighborhoods and help with our part of this city-wide
spring cleaning.
Patterson Park residents and property owners have an added incentive to get our communities clean now that the Stormwater Fee (sometimes referred to as the “Rain Tax”) is in effect. One way to receive credits to reduce this fee is to participate in
organized cleanups such as the Mayor’s Annual Cleanups. Details of ways to reduce this tax are available at http://www.cleanwaterbaltimore.org/stormwater-fee-reduction, which outlines how participation in public projects, tree plantings, rain gardens
and rainwater harvesting can earn residents a discount in their tax.
Upcoming Neighborhood Cleanups:
The PPNA will be hosting more cleanups through the summer, with dumpsters provided to our group sectors for targeted
cleanups. Watch the PPNA website (www.pattersonparkneighbors.org) and the Patterson Park Neighbors Facebook page for
announcements and reminders of these cleanup. Currently scheduled cleanups are:
• Patterson Place Sector: Saturday April 18, dumpster at corner of Montford and Fairmont
Contact Tiffany Ernst for information: [email protected]
• South Sector: Saturday, June 6th, dumpster at East and Baltimore (Alley between Baltimore and Leverton)
Contact Michael Gardiner: [email protected]
• East Sector: Saturday, July 6th (tentative date), dumpster at East and Fairmont
Contact Pat Lundberg: [email protected]
Rat Proofing Your Home

Use a durable trashcan with a tight-fitting lid. It’s the law.
Remove leftover pet food (cats, dogs and birds) and animal waste (feces) every day from the back of your yard.
Remove old furniture, vehicles and appliances from your property. Don’t give rats a home!
Mow tall grass and weeds. Don’t give them a place to hide!
Don’t let rats inside! Rats can squeeze through cracks and holes as small as half an inch.

Trash and Recycling Guide Coming Soon
In a final bit of trash-related news, Patterson Park neighbors are hard at work on an upcoming Trash and Recycling Guide. A cooperative project of the PPNA, Baltimore Community
Foundation, Chesapeake Bay Trust, Banner Neighborhoods and the Patterson Park Greening
Partnership, the guide “has ideas and tools that you can use to keep your streets, alleys and
backyards clean and healthy” and provides “detailed information about trash removal, recycling, and rat prevention”. Thanks for VP-West Sadie Drescher for her work on this project.

Watch for details - in a break from tradition, the PPNA
will forgo the usual summertime meeting hiatus and will
be holding the usual “Second Monday” meeting schedule through the summer. We’re hoping to take advantage
of the additional socializing that the warm weather allows and enjoy the season with our neighbors. Watch for
meeting announcements and bring a neighbor into the
PPNA community.
The PPNA is looking to do more for economic and
business development in 2015. Opportunities exist to
support existing business, identify opportunities for new
ones, and have oversight to optimize businesses’ health,
performance, and sustainability. We’ve created a new

Patterson Park Master Plan Public Meeting
Submitted by Leigh Peterson
The work of the Steering Committee, the Department of Recreation and
Parks, and the consultant firm, Mahan
Rykiel, to date was explained at a public
meeting in March. Now that feedback
will be integrated into draft Master Plans
and described at the next public meeting:
June 24th, 7 to 9 pm at the Patterson
Park Public Charter School (Baltimore
St entrance)
Please keep in mind that the Master Plan
is an ideal--what we would like the park
to become in the next 20 years.
The overall idea is to limit driving by
creating a hub at Linwood (see pictures
for examples).This will require the loss
of 1 tennis court, but a new volleyball
court will be installed, freeing up a tennis court. Additionally, the new drive will
feel intentional and historic, integrating
trees to hide the 15-20 parking spots. To
completely restrict regular driving to this
area, there is one scenario that would
move all activities requiring driving to
this region of the park (see 2nd picture).
In this scenario, there is a multi-generational Rec. Center (no separate Senior Center) where the ice rink is currently located. Moving the Rec. Center
to the pool creates an activity center
where cross-programming will be easy
and more frequent. The old Rec. Center is shown as being demolished in this
scenario, but the Patterson Park Public
Charter School has expressed some interest in maintaining that building.
Removal of the ice rink in this scenario
is largely due to the exorbitant cost of
up-keep. As is, the ice rink will need to
be demolished and re-built if we decide
One of the scenarios for the future of the Park.
Visit http://pattersonparkmasterplan.weebly.com
to see other options and offer your feedback.
10
that an ice rink in the park is necessary.
The other idea is to relocate it outside
of the park where is could have more
parking. There was some opposition to
this idea after the last public meeting and
alternatives are being explored.
You will also see that the community
gardens may be relocated to this new
activity center as well. They would be
larger than the current gardens to accommodate some of the waiting list.
The old community gardens could become an orchard or green space perhaps
this would be a 2nd community garden
location.
This is just one scenario. We will mix and
match parts that we, as a community, like
from each scenarios to build the final
plan. I hope you will join the conversation at the June public meeting.
