I: Overview/Introduction The 21st Century School Buildings Program In the fall of 2010, groundwork was laid to address Baltimore City’s aging and inadequate public school buildings. Community, education advocacy groups, the school system, and other stakeholders built a coalition of support for legislation and funding to modernize all of Baltimore’s public schools. The promise of replaced and renovated schools is meant to help transform student opportunities and achievement, provide jobs and resources to families, and help revitalize neighborhoods.

The 21st Century School Buildings Program (the Program) will support excellence in teaching and learning with flexible and adaptable space, learning areas designed for interaction and collaboration, and technology-equipped classrooms, enabling students to meet today's—and tomorrow's—high standards, and will provide communities with a shared public resource that will enrich their neighborhoods. Baltimore City will benefit for decades to come from this historic effort to provide the healthy, safe, efficient, and modern school buildings all children deserve. As a result, students in Baltimore City Public Schools will benefit from:

• Replaced or renovated school buildings across the city;• School environments that support teaching and learning to prepare students for college and career

success;• Schools that become hubs of resources supporting entire communities;• Modern, efficient, and inspiring educational facilities that also provide recreation and

community use; and• Partnerships that encourage businesses and neighborhood residents to connect with their

local schools.All of the major renovation and replacement projects in the Program will meet or exceed U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-Silver standard. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design; LEED-certified buildings are resource-efficient and save operating costs. Each school design team works with a sustainability consultant, to ensure certification.

Financing and Administering the Program The Baltimore City Public School System Construction and Revitalization Act of 2013 resulted in a partnership between the City of Baltimore, the State of Maryland, and Baltimore City Public Schools, financing a program that is leveraging $60 million/year to provide approximately $1 billion in bond proceeds for school construction issued by the Maryland Stadium Authority. Additionally, The City of Baltimore, Baltimore City Public Schools, the Interagency Committee on Public School Construction, and Maryland Stadium Authority are partnering through a Memorandum of Understanding in order to manage and oversee the plan.

School construction is typically funded by municipalities and states on a project-by-project basis. Alternative financing for school construction using this method for the Program allows Baltimore City Public Schools to expedite the process of significantly renovating or replacing 23-28 school buildings over a seven year period.

INSPIRE Mission and Objectives Each modernized 21st Century school represents tens of millions of dollars of public investment into the neighborhood it serves.

To leverage this investment, and to enhance the connection between the schools and the surrounding neighborhoods, the Department of Planning launched a new program called INSPIRE, which stands for Investing in Neighborhoods and Schools to Promote Improvement, Revitalization, and Excellence. This planning program focuses on the neighborhoods surrounding each of the schools, specifically the quarter-mile around the schools.

Focusing on a Quarter-Mile Focusing on a limited geographic area allows plans to concentrate impact around the school so that assets and investments support the school as a community resource, build on each other, and continue to expand further into the neighborhood. Recommendations in the plan don’t simply stop at a quarter-mile marker; a guiding principle however, is considering concentration of impact. In this way, the INSPIRE plans respond to the aspirations of the neighborhood and school stakeholders in a way that is achievable.

Making an Impact INSPIRE plans seek to lead to improvements in the environment and in the quality of life for students, their families, and neighborhood residents and businesses. The plans will also articulate the community’s long-term vision for guiding private investment, and address environmental, social, and economic conditions.

To achieve this, there are two categories of recommendations. • To strengthen the connection between the school and community, the first set of recommendations

focuses on blocks that have been designated as “primary walking routes.” Standard improvementsalong these routes will help ensure that students and other community members have safer andmore walkable access to the school. See page 11 for details.

• To address environmental, social, and economic conditions, and to help guide future investment, thesecond set of recommendations is divided into six goals. While all INSPIRE plans start with generallythe same goals, community stakeholders help prioritize them; strategies and recommendations aredeveloped in response to their input.

o Invest in housing and market-strengthening development opportunitieso Improve safetyo Improve sanitationo Create environmentally-sustainable neighborhoodso Create opportunities for health and wellnesso Create connections and access

Recommendation Development and Overview Throughout 2016, Department of Planning staff worked with members of the school and neighborhood communities to better understand their neighborhood experiences, concerns, and needs. Once the Robert Poole Building renovation is complete, both the Academy for College and Career Exploration (ACCE) Academy and Independence Local School 1 will be co-located on site. INSPIRE plans around high schools, such as the Robert Poole Building, are different from elementary and middle schools in that they are not zoned as neighborhood schools. As such, many families in Hampden do not engage with the school because their children do not attend neither ACCE nor Independence. The lack of connection to the school made engagement more difficult than anticipated especially since Hampden has a very active community association. The typical meeting format did not yield the best results, instead individual conversations and an electronic survey helped the Planning Department understand some of the issues expressed by community members.

Next Steps During the month of June, Department of Planning staff will seek and incorporate additional community and agency feedback to the draft recommendations presented in this report. We will finalize recommendations, and develop the INSPIRE plan which will include commitments from City agencies, an implementation table, and additional information including relevant city-wide initiatives, other agency efforts, and existing plans for the area. Planning staff will seek additional feedback from community stakeholders about the plan. The final plan will be presented to, and adopted by, the Planning Commission in early fall. Department of Planning staff will work with the community to identify a “signature community project” that we can work on together right away.

II: INSPIRE Planning Area – Background

INSPIRE Map – Robert Poole Building Planning Area The Robert Poole Building is located in the Hampden neighborhood of North Baltimore. This mostly residential neighborhood has easy access to the Jones Falls Expressway and a thriving commercial corridor dubbed “The Avenue.” On the western edge of Hampden lies the Jones Falls Valley, home to recently re-imagined industrial buildings and the Jones Falls Trail. Once the Robert Poole Building renovation is complete, Independence Local School 1 will be co-located with ACCE Academy. The schools serve grades 9-12 and 6-12 respectively. Independence is currently operating out of a modular/trailer onsite. The Robert Poole Building is scheduled to open in the summer of 2018.

Neighborhood Observations

Housing, Land Use, and Sanitation Historically, Hampden was a working class neighborhood built to house people who worked at the mills along the Jones Falls Valley. As such, the housing stock is characterized primarily by modest two-story rowhomes, with a sprinkling of semi-detached and single-family dwellings. Today, the neighborhood is among the strongest housing markets in the city. According to the City’s 2014 Housing Market Typology, Hampden is a Middle Market Choice neighborhood, meaning housing prices are above the city’s average with strong ownership and low vacancy rates.

Although the housing stock has mostly stayed intact, some redevelopment and new developments have added new types of housing to the neighborhood. Examples include: The Courtyard at 3400 Roland Ave.; Mill No. 1; ICON Residences at The Rotunda; WhiteHall Mill; and the Cairnes Lane Townhomes, which are located behind the Robert Poole Building. These new apartment buildings and luxury 3 and 4 story townhomes are very different from the mostly worker housing built in Hampden over a century ago. All of the new housing developments have been market-rate, which continues to drive up costs.

Hampden is primarily a residentially-zoned neighborhood, but there are commercial corridors along 36th Street, Falls Road, and The Rotunda. New commercial and industrial uses are being mixed into the formerly industrial areas along the Jones Falls. The many buildings along the Jones Falls Valley used to house heavy industry, but in recent years many of these buildings are converting to include residential and commercial uses that co-exist peacefully with each other. Transform Baltimore, the City’s updated zoning code, allows for the mix of industrial, commercial and residential uses in Hampden with new categories such as Industrial Mixed Use (I-MU), Transit Oriented Development (TOD), and Rowhouse Mixed Use Overlay (R-MU).

Hampden is a relatively clean neighborhood. However, due to the very active main street and other small shops, litter is a problem, with trash being thrown on the ground or overflowing from public trash cans. This increases the chance of rodent issues especially along the main commercial corridor.

Recreation and Open Space There are two distinct open spaces in Hampden that are within the half-mile radius of the Robert Poole Building: Roosevelt Park and Buena Vista Park. The 18-acre Roosevelt Park is directly across the street from the school building and houses a recreation center, skate park, ball fields, community garden, playground, and pool. The Roosevelt Park master plan was created in 2004 by the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks and outlines improvements for the different aspects of the park. The recreation center runs a number of programs and activities including skating, soccer, basketball, and an after school program. Roosevelt Park is a well-used community asset for Hampden residents,

8

students, and adjacent neighborhoods. Buena Vista Park is a much smaller park on the northern end of the neighborhood, just south of 41st Street, and has a basketball court and a playground.

Hampden is adjacent to both Druid Hill Park on the west and Wyman Park Dell on the east. The northeastern edge of Druid Hill Park lies within the ½ mile radius for INSPIRE, but significant barriers exists that do not make it readily accessible to the Hampden neighborhood.

Transportation The Hampden neighborhood is close to multiple transit options, including bus routes and the Light Rail. There is also convenient access to the Jones Falls Expressway, which allows for easy commutes to downtown Baltimore. Hampden is a very walkable neighborhood as far as accessibility to retail and recreation, but the narrow sidewalks can make traversing the neighborhood uncomfortable. Hampden is made of mostly small neighborhood streets, but some of the major thoroughfares in the neighborhood include Falls Road, Roland Avenue, 36th Street, and 41st Street. Small streets like Union Avenue mostly serve local residents, but have become more congested as redevelopment has occurred especially along the Jones Falls Valley.

III. Preparing for School Opening Day

Primary Walking Routes to School The modernized Robert Poole Building will be attended by students who live all over the city. Very few students who attend ACCE Academy or Independence Local School 1 live in Hampden or the surrounding neighborhoods. Most students walk through the neighborhood to catch the Light Rail or bus to and from school.

The map below identifies the primary routes students walk to get to school. Students arriving by the Light Rail traverse Union Avenue to either Ash Street or Buena Vista Avenue to enter the building on 36th Street. Independence students will have a separate entrance along Berry Street. Students who catch the #27 bus exit on 36th Street near Falls Road and continue walking to the school along 36th Street.

10

Standard Improvements – Primary Walking Routes Ensuring that students and other community members have safe and attractive pedestrian access to the school is critical to strengthening the connection between the school and community. Therefore, one part of each INSPIRE plan is a focus on the blocks that have been designated as the primary walking routes. In this case, these are the routes students most often take to the Light Rail or bus stops. See page 9.

These blocks are being prioritized for consistent streetscape improvements that will occur prior to each 21st Century school reopening.

Through commitments from many City agencies, these key improvements will be made along the primary walking routes:

• Bringing sidewalks up to a safe and standard condition• Repainting or adding crosswalks• Installing or repairing ADA ramps at intersections• Assessing crossing guard deployment• Pruning and planting street trees• Assessing street lighting• Boarding open vacant buildings• Picking up trash and maintaining vacant lots

The recommendations presented in the remainder of this report are in addition to those that address the issues listed above.

11

IV. Stakeholder Priorities and Draft Recommendations

Assets and Priorities Through community workshops and surveys, residents provided input that informed the draft recommendations included in this report. Input included identifying assets and priorities, including the following:

Assets Active community organization Good neighbors Walkability Sense of community Close to amenities Architecture Jones Falls Trail Playground Diversity of amenities Park Arts and culture Central location

Priorities Address drug activity related to methadone clinic

Better connection on Union Avenue

Rehabilitation of deteriorating homes Streetscape and façade improvements along Falls Rd.

Complete Streets User-friendly green space

12

Draft Recommendations

The recommendations presented in the remainder of this report are in addition to those that address the issues along the primary walking routes listed on page 9.

Recommendations presented in this section have been informed by community workshops, surveys, and walking tours. Many recommendations described could easily fit under more than one goal.

The Department of Planning is seeking community feedback about these goals, strategies, and recommendations.

• Investing in Housing and Market- Strengthening Development Opportunitieso Create and Maintain High-Quality Affordable Housing

• Create an Environmentally-Sustainable and Clean Neighborhoodo Enhance the Green Aspects of the Neighborhoodo Keep Neighborhood Clean

• Improve Safetyo Promote Safety at Key Locationso Improve Walking and Biking Access and Safety in the Neighborhood

• Create Opportunities for Health and Wellnesso Improve Recreation Areas

13

INVEST IN HOUSING AND MARKET-STREGNTHENING DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Create and Maintain High-Quality Affordable Housing

1. Support affordable housing opportunities.Hampden’s housing prices are above the city’s average, with high ownership rates and relatively lowvacancy rates. The cost of purchasing a home and paying the property taxes can be out of reach formany Baltimoreans. All of the new housing developments have been market-rate, which continues todrive up costs. New development that aims to create affordable housing options for renters and ownersis encouraged.

2. Connect residents to resources to maintain homes.The INSPIRE area includes a large number of stable, longtime homeowners. Some have been there forgenerations but may have trouble maintaining their aging rowhouse. The City and nonprofits can helpkeep seniors and low- to moderate-income families safe, and reduce energy costs in their homes. Theseprograms include those operated by Baltimore Housing’s Green, Healthy, and Sustainable HomesDivision, including:

• The Baltimore Energy Challenge to educate homeowners about lowering energy bills• The Leading Innovation for a Green and Healthy Tomorrow (LIGHT) Program, which provides

comprehensive benefits screenings and case management to coordinate housing, energyconservation, health, safety, and financial services

14

CREATE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY-SUSTAINABLE AND CLEAN NEIGHBORHOOD Enhance the Green Aspects of the Neighborhood 3. Encourage developers to create green spaces as part of new development.Many residents feel that the strength of the housing market attracts developers to build new apartments andtownhomes, using as much land for development as possible, at the expense of potential green space.Developers should create green space on site that softens the tremendous amount of hardscape in theneighborhood. The Department of Planning has created a Landscape Manual to be applied to most newdevelopments and redevelopments with the goal of improving and increasing the city’s environmental qualityand green infrastructure network.

4. Maintain healthy trees and increase the tree canopy.Many of the trees in the INSPIRE area are located in parks. Adding street trees is challenging due to verynarrow sidewalks throughout the neighborhood. Where possible, add new street trees and trees in RooseveltPark that do not interfere with recreation. Maintain the existing large, mature trees in the Roosevelt andBuena Vista Parks.

5. Explore opportunities for ACCE and Independence to become “green schools.”School programs existing in the Robert Poole Building, Academy for College and Career Exploration and theIndependence School Local #1, have engaged in sustainability education programming for years, are bothcertified Maryland Green Schools and have successfully sought Green, Healthy, Smart Challenge funding forsustainability projects at their schools. Schools have completed projects in aquaponics, bee-keeping, green-mapping, storm-water management, tree and garden installations. Building and school grounds spacesavailable for this use would be ideal in order for programming to persist. Additional opportunities areavailable for both ACCE & Independence to reach Sustainable School status through MAEOE and to become aGreen Ribbon School (MSDE designation). Both schools are encouraged to continue participating in richpartnerships with organizations such as Blue Water Baltimore, the Baltimore Free Farm and the Parks &People Foundation.

Keep the Neighborhood Clean 6. Evaluate placement of receptacles and increase trash collection along the commercial corridor.Strategically placed trash receptacles can help alleviate some of the littering that occurs especially along abusy commercial corridor such as 36th Street. DPW should evaluate the area for placement at street cornersand bus stops. Increased trash collection along the commercial corridor also will help prevent overflowingtrash receptacles from creating litter on the street and sidewalk. DPW should investigate the current pick-upschedule and work with business owners and residents to determine what changes need to be made.

7. Develop community-led initiatives to address litter problems.As part of the Jones Falls Watershed, litter and dog waste negatively impacts the neighborhood and naturalresources beyond Hampden. Hampden Community Council’s Clean and Green committee should continue towork with Blue Water Baltimore and DPW on their cleaning and greening efforts and explore creating acampaign that encourages residents and visitors to properly dispose of waste, including dog waste.

15

IMPROVE SAFETY

Promote Safety at Key Locations

8. Increase lighting under I-83 between Clipper Mill Road and Light Rail station.Many residents discussed how dark their streets are at night, which made them feel unsafe. Oneparticular area that is very dark and could benefit from a creative lighting solution is Union Ave. under I-83 between Clipper Mill Road and the Light Rail Station. This

9. Address drug activity and loitering related to methadone clinic.There are many concerns about alleged open air drug transactions that happen near the HampdenHealth Solutions center at Falls Road and 36th Street, immediately west of the Robert Poole SchoolBuilding. The continued relationship between the Northern Police District and the residents should helpidentify repeat offenders and encourage those utilizing services at the center to not loiter in theneighborhood.

Improve Walking and Biking Access and Safety in the Neighborhood

10. Improve safety at intersections.Many residents have stated that one of the reasons they enjoy living in Hampden is because ofwalkability, but certain intersections are not safe to cross because of high speeds, blind spots,misaligned intersections, and high-volume of traffic. The places where pedestrians feel the most unsafeare along Falls Road at 36th and 37th Streets, and along Union Avenue between the Light Rail station andBuena Vista Avenue. DOT should explore options to make these intersections safer.

11. Add bike infrastructure.There is an existing bike lane/sharrow (a shared bike lane) on Roland Avenue and Keswick Road, butnowhere around the school building, making it difficult to safely traverse the streets of Hampden bybicycle. DOT should explore options to add bike infrastructure within the INSPIRE area and encourageshared use of lanes through signage and education.

16

CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Improve Recreation Areas

12. Continue to Implement Roosevelt Park Master Plan.Roosevelt Park is nicknamed Hampden’s Jewel along the Jones Falls, but the current condition of thepark leaves much to be desired. Although it is heavily used, many improvements are necessary to makeit more inviting. The Department of Recreation and Parks and the Hampden community should continueto implement the 2004 Roosevelt Park Master Plan that calls for elements such as:

• Updating the athletic fields• Realigning and creating new walkways• Increasing the number of light fixtures• Completing the skate park renovations
