[Chat] Fw: [I-NEIGHBORS] VISIT Druid Park Lake Drive Juvenile Center

Isn't this the same facility that we successfully blocked from moving to
the 2300 block of Maryland Avenue a couple of months ago?

I am completely offended by this latest attempt to use the Charles
Village neighborhood as a staging ground for city services for criminals
(juvenile or otherwise).  What about the efforts that are being put into
Waverly Main Street and revitalization of houses around Greenmount? And
what about the kids themselves? Lower Greenmount is not a safe place and
certainly would not provide youth with role models. 

I find this another attempt by the city to move such a facility to the
cheapest land it can fine. A far better place would be in a quiet,
wooded area where there could be an actual "campus" that would provide
offenders with a more positive experience and even a safe, attractive
place to hang out. Roland Park, for instance, up by the private schools.

Dear Communities,

There is a proposal on the table for the Dept. of Juvenile Services to
open 
a Baltimore City Day and Evening Reporting Center at 2920 Greenmount
Ave. 
Ms. Zarva Taru, from the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center,
presented 
the idea at the Waverly Improvement Association Meeting on Tuesday,
December 
6th.  They stated that they have been in contact or will be in contact
with 
the community associations of Better Waverly, Harwood and Abell.  There
will 
be many more meetings and public forums about this plan for everyone to 
participate in.

Ms. Zarva Taru invited a small amount of community members to view the 
current facility at Druid Park Lake Drive.  Those who have been able to 
visit the center said that it was the best way for them to understand
what 
they are trying to develop on Greenmount Ave.

I have arranged to take 6 community members to visit the facility on
Friday, 
December 16th at 7pm.  Again, the facility is small so she can only 
accommodate a small group at a time without disrupting the program.
Please 
send an email to dbowman at greaterhomewood.com or call 410-262-3510 if
you'd 
like to visit. (Preference will be given to diversifying community 
representation.)

Thank you,
Destini K Bowman
