OLD PARKING METERS PROVIDE NEW WAY TO HELP THE HOMELESS

Downtown pedestrians will have a new way to resistpanhandlers and help the truly needy. As part of ThePartnership’s Make a Change program, Mayor MartinO’Malley and the City’s Parking Authority and Departmentof Transportation will be recycling coin-operated parkingmeters (that are being replaced by new Smart Park meters)and installing them Downtown.

The Partnership is retrofitting the meters with signage toincrease their visibility and let passersby know these arebeing used for a special purpose.

The meters are the latest element of the Make a Changeprogram that encourages people to “put your change where

you can make one” by explaining that it’sbetter to give to a charity than to apanhandler who may use the money ina way not intended to move out of homelessness.

As part of the program, special literatureexplains that it’s better to give to acharitable organization than it is to givedirectly to a panhandler.

In addition to the new meters, specialMake a Change collection boxes havebeen placed in Downtown businesses,hotels, attractions, and other publicvenues. Money from the boxes iscollected by Downtown Partnership and100% of the proceeds go to BaltimoreHomeless Services, Inc. to improvehomeless outreach.

UP YOUR ALLEY

At the end of last winter, Downtown’sClean Sweep Ambassadors helped getready for the busy spring and summertourist season with a special initiative toimprove the areas around hotels. CalledOperation Check-In, the CSAs workedwith hotel personnel to address litter and graffiti, paying special attention tothe backs of buildings, service drives,

and other areas that might not getregular maintenance.

Because that effort was such a success,the Clean Sweep Team is readying a newinitiative. It’s called Up Your Alley and, asyou can guess by the name, it will focus onareas that are seldom seen but importantto Downtown’s overall sanitation andappearance.

Up Your Alley will address things likegraffiti and litter removal, and will includepower washing and other efforts to scrubthe alleys clean – this is especiallyimportant behind restaurants wheregrease and discarded food can create areal mess. The Clean Team will also workwith properties to improve dumpsterplacement and refuse pick up schedules,among other things.

Cleaning alleys certainly isn’t glamorouswork, but it needs to be done. Thankfully,the Clean Sweep Ambassadors are justthe people to take it on.

For more information about the Up YourAlley initiative, contact Everett Fullwoodat 410.244.1030.

SAFETY ESCORTS

Autumn means it will be getting darkerearlier. But not to worry – Downtown’sPublic Safety Guides are always ready to bring peace of mind to anyoneworking late and reluctant to walk to their car or transit stop alone.Safety Escorts are available within theDowntown Management Authority (DMA)district, the 106-block area that comprisesthe core of Downtown, from 10 a.m. to9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Anyone wishing to receive an escortshould call 410.244.8778 during businesshours or 410.802.9631 after hours.

MORE ASHTRAYS,FEWER BUTTS

This spring, the Clean Team beganhanding out free portable ashtrays tooffice workers, transit riders, and anyoneelse who routinely smokes outside.

The Team spends a lot of time removingcigarette butts from sidewalks, and the ashtrays are a unique way tohelp smokers do their part to keepDowntown clean.

So far, more than 3,000 ashtrays havebeen handed out – many going to specificcompanies that requested them on behalfof their employees. Demand for the ashtrayswas so great, we ordered 3,000 more.

In addition to encouraging the use of theportable ashtrays, we urge everycommercial property to provide a placewhere smokers may safely deposit theirspent smokes. It’s a simple thing to do thatwill make a big difference.

If you or your company would like toassist us in our efforts, please call410.244.1030 to place your order for theportable ashtrays.

BALT IMORE RESTAURANT WEEKA F IVE-STAR SUCCESS

When Downtown Partnership and theBaltimore Area Convention and VisitorsAssociation (BACVA) began planningBaltimore’s first-ever Restaurant Week, wefelt it could be a small success in its first year and build as awareness of it grewover time.

But what we billed as “The Most DeliciousWeek of the Year” was successful beyondour wildest hopes.

More than sixty of the area’s bestrestaurants participated in the event,and most of them were completelybooked with reservations – so much sothat several extended their pre fixe Restaurant Week offerings for additionaldays, weeks, and even months.

Restaurant Week was held in mid-July,usually a slow time for restaurants.Participants offered a specially priced,pre fixe dinner menu for $30. Many also included lunch specials for $20.The reduced prices, and the quality ofthe menus they presented, enticedthousands of diners into neighborhoodsacross the city.

Many reservations were made via thewebsite OpenTable.com. Representativesfrom this online dining service wereimpressed with the large amount of trafficBaltimore Restaurant Week generated,saying that we had the highest numberof daily reservations of any first-yearrestaurant week promotion they’ve seen.

Needless to say, plans for the 2nd annualBaltimore Restaurant Week are alreadyunderway. We’ll keep you updated as thedetails and list of participating restaurantsis finalized in the spring. In the meantime, weencourage everyone to revisit RestaurantWeek establishments during the course ofthe year, or try someplace new you heardabout during the promotion.

ANNUAL MEET ING RECAP

On Tuesday, September 19, more than 750of the region’s business, political, andcommunity leaders joined DowntownPartnership for our Annual Meeting.This was our biggest crowd ever, but itdidn’t feel cramped thanks to theaccommodations at the BaltimoreConvention Center.

HOUSING F IRST

Over the years, The Partnership has workedclosely with homeless service providers toimprove outreach to Downtown’s neediestcitizens. And we are proud to assistBaltimore Homeless Services and HealthCare for the Homeless in support ofHousing First, an innovative new programdesigned to get people off the streets andinto permanent housing.

Helping the homeless find permanenthousing is the humane thing to do, and it’scritical for the overall communityDowntown. Having people living on thestreets creates the perception that theneighborhood is unsafe.

The Housing First model incorporatesthree components: crisis intervention andoutreach, finding and improving access topermanent housing, and case managementto both identify needs of clients beforethey enter housing and work with them tohelp them stay successfully housed for thelong term.

The Partnership is involved at the crisisintervention stage. Each of our PublicSafety Guides has received trainingthrough Hands In Partnership (HIP), aprogram we developed in conjunctionwith Baltimore Mental Health Systems,that has referred hundreds of individualsfor services – services that now includeHousing First.

Since Housing First began in July 2005,approximately 25 people have received

housing and nearly 100% of them werestill there after ten months. And HousingFirst has reunited two families and foundhomes for six homeless children.

These are achievements in and ofthemselves, but they are even more tellingwhen you think about the individualstruggles involved. Housing First clientshave detoxed from drugs and alcohol,most have increased their income, andmany are receiving health care andmental health services to which they hadno access previously.

We encourage every member of theDowntown community to help support thisimportant effort. Please contact BaltimoreHomeless Services at 410.396.3757 tolearn how.

NEW HOME FOR HOMELESSOUTREACH ORGANIZAT ION

Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) isone of the region's most effective outreachservice organizations and the onlyorganization in Maryland providing health-related services, education, and advocacyto reduce homelessness and its burdens.

In more than twenty years of operation,HCH has grown from a staff of fourserving 700 clients to a staff 100 servingnearly 5,000 Baltimoreans each year.

The neighborhood around HCH's currentfacility at 111 Park Avenue, like all ofDowntown, is experiencing new growthand prosperity. Unfortunately, that does

not mean the need for HCH services is waning.

Nationally, the poverty rate is up while thenumber of people with health insurance is down sharply. The minimum wage hasstagnated relative to the cost of living.And the amount of affordable housing is shrinking.

The current HCH building is not able tokeep up with the growing need for itsservices, so the organization is planningto move into a 45,000 square foot facilityat the southeast corner of Fallsway andHillen Street. This new clinic will be just afew bocks south of the new Our Daily Breadbuilding (the city's largest soup kitchen).

Designed by Kann & Associates, theplanned three-story facility will house acommunity pharmacy (operated by Mt.Vernon Pharmacy) on the first floor,clinical services (including a new dentalsuite) on the second floor, with supportand administrative services on the third.

Both the State and City have investedsubstantially in the new center, andBaltimore voters approved a capital bondof $1.3 million by an overwhelming 90%.To date, HCH has raised more than half ofits $17.5 million financial goal thanks to aleadership gift from the Harry & JeanetteWeinberg Foundation and the generouscontributions of: the Alvin and Fanny B.Thalheimer Foundation; Mary CatherineBunting; The Maryland Hospital Association;Jeff Jacobson and Erickson RetirementCommunities; Willard Hackerman; the Abell

Foundation; the Cavanaugh FinancialGroup Charitable Foundation; the MorrisGoldseker Foundation of Maryland, Inc.;and other committed supporters.

Even with these gifts, HCH still needsadditional partners to get this importantfacility up and running.

"This project has been strongly supportedby both the City and State, but it will onlysucceed with the generous help ofBaltimore’s individual and corporatephilanthropists," said Jeff Singer,President and CEO of Health Care forthe Homeless. "Every donation will be putto effective use."

Singer said that, if HCH is able to securethe necessary funding, it will breakground on the new site in the spring ofnext year and expects to be able to movein by the end of 2008.

"The business community knows thatwe can’t push the social problem ofhomeless out of sight and mind – thatsimply doesn't work," said Kirby Fowler,Downtown Partnership president andHCH board member.

"HCH provides the kind of comprehensiveservices we need to help get people offthe streets for good," he said. "Theirsuccess improves the quality of life foreveryone in the Downtown community."

To learn more about helping HCH, pleasecontact Janice Williams, HCH Director of Development, at 410.837.5533 x310,jwilliams@hchmd.org, or visit www.hchmd.org.

STREETSCAPE UPDATES

Work to improve Downtown’s streetscape is in full swing, even ascolder weather approaches.

� A major effort to rebuild Calvert Street between Lombard and Baltimore streets has begun. For too many years, the appearance of this street has been far from ideal – a marked contrast to the well-manicured tourist areas around the Waterfront, just one block away.

By early October, construction crews had set up staging areas and started on the much-needed repairs.

Work will include installation of new conduit, road bed improvements and repaving, new sidewalks, better pedestrian lighting, and new street furniture.

Electronic signs have been set up to alert motorists of any temporary traffic changes. Pedestrians can also expect somedisruption in the area. The Partnership will work closely with the construction teams and area businesses to minimize any inconveniences, and we encourage everyone to continue to patronize the many shops and restaurants in the area during the construction.

� Removal of the Howard Street arches is scheduled to begin this autumn. The arches of lights, once considered fashionable, have become worn and dated. Because they are integrated with power lines for the light rail, they are difficult to maintain, and will be complicated to remove.Work will be done after the Light Rail has shut down at night and on weekends. Replacement pedestrian lighting has already been installed.

� The repaving and streetscaping of Eutaw Street (from Lombard to Baltimore streets) is moving forward with construction expected to begin in early spring.

For more information on The Partnership’s Streetscape Initiatives,contact Robert Dengler at 410.244.1030.

CENTER PLAZA UPDATE

Center Plaza renovations are progressingon schedule for a Spring 2007 opening.The new waterproof membrane has beenlaid; drainage, conduit, and irrigationsystems are being installed; and thefoundation for the water feature at thesouth end of the plaza is being poured.

Even as construction progresses,Downtown Partnership is looking aheadto the plaza’s reopening.

A foundation has been created by publicand private stakeholders to run the park,and a caretaker will be hired to handlethe day-to-day operations of the areasuch as setting out tables and chairs, orprogramming music and other eventswhen the park reopens.

The Partnership is also working on adetailed operations plan that willencompass maintenance and security ofthe new plaza, and include a retaildevelopment strategy.

When complete, Center Plaza will boastmore than $7.4 million in renovations. Itwill offer lush greenspace, cafés, shops,and events – amenities that are ever morein demand by the thousands ofemployees, residents, and hotels thatsurround this important gateway betweenDowntown’s City Center and Westside.

IMPROVING PRATT STREET

The Partnership’s effort to improve Pratt Street is underway. In severalsections, the size of the earthen bermshas been reduced, letting more light into the area and creating a morehospitable environment. And, recently, aRequest for Qualifications (RFQ) wasissued by the Baltimore DevelopmentCorporation (BDC) for consultants todevelop a comprehensive renewal planfor the public areas along Pratt Street.

Sixteen blocks, encompassing the northand south sides of Pratt Street, betweenMartin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard toPresident Street, are being targeted foropen space improvements that will makethe area easier and more enjoyable for pedestrians to navigate. In additionto landscaping and other physicalimprovements, the new design shouldinclude plans for new retail and dining options.

In addition to the BDC, the Baltimore City Departments of Planning andTransportation are involved in the effort.Ultimately, the goal is to transform PrattStreet into a grand boulevard similar toMichigan Avenue in Chicago.

The consensus for change is nearlyuniversal. As we reported in our lastnewsletter, ideas about how to improvePratt Street were discussed at a charrette

convened by The Partnership this past spring.

Charrette participants suggestedeliminating the berms and creating tree-lined space for food vendors or retail kiosks closer to the street.These ideas will be shared with theconsultants selected under the RFQ, andincorporated into the design schemes.

For more information about improvingPratt Street, contact Robert Dengler at 410.244.1030.
