Hey all!
Sorry for being so tardy as of late. Lot’s of things have been going on. If you have read the Eagle, then you have a pretty good idea about what I am talking about.
Concerning this article and the Turner Station charrette, this is an absolutely incredible opportunity for the citizens of the 6th District and the residents of Turner Station. This is the fun and easy part, where citizens get to dream big, discuss ideas, and share stories of what will come. The next part, the hardest, and most important, is getting it done. Turner Station is full of energetic, action-oriented citizens that are willing to do anything to support the community their families have lived in for generations. What happens in the next couple of years with this revitalization will have a ripple effect for generations. Let’s all work together, and work as diligently and thoughtful as possible. It is an engaging and exciting time. Yet another huzzah for the region!

Neighborhood improvements to be discussed
by Joseph M. Giordano
It started back in July 2001 with the proposal for the Turner Station Community Conservation Plan.
Now, the residents of Turner’s will be able to participate in a charrette – a designers roundtable – with a five-day series of tours, discussions and finally a consensus of what the residents in the community want im-proved, according to Jeff Mayhew, division chief of community planning for the Baltimore County Office of Planning.
On Thursday at 8 a.m., members of Mayhew’s office, Turner’s residents and members of the Turner Station Conservation Team will tour the neighborhood to get a better idea of what needs to be improved.
“We would like to take a look at the empty lots in the community,” team vice president Gloria Nelson said. “Also, we would like to take a look at better lighting, wider sidewalks and a general streetscape for the area.”
Baltimore County Councilman John Olszewski Sr. (7th District), who sponsored the initial bill in 2001, plans to attend at least one day.
