New Residents

Welcome to Federal Hill! You will need to either apply for you permit online at http://baltimorecity.gov/government/parking/rpp/index.php before you move into Area 9 or in person at the Parking Authority offices as soon as possible. No matter which route you choose the passes will NOT be mailed to you so you will be required to visit the Parking Authority offices in person to sign for and collect your passes. Baltimore City recognizes that you may not have all of the necessary registration paperwork completed when you first move to the area so, providing you can demonstrate your residency at your new address, they will often issue a temporary permit to allow you time to make the necessary changes to your vehicle registration.

 

You will be able to pay for your permits online or in person when you collect them. Payment must be made by credit card or by check as the Parking Authority does not accept cash.

Current Residents

Posted by Daniel On October - 31 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Area 9 permits expire each year on the last day of February. Beginning in January of each year current residents will be able to complete the online application for new permits. The permits will be available for collection from the Parking Authority offices on Lombard Street. However, the Parking Authority offices are only open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. Therefore, as a courtesy to all the residents of Federal Hill, the Neighborhood Association hosts a permit pick-up meeting one evening in February to allow residents to pick up their permits outside of usual office hours and to avoid Downtown parking and traffic issues. This meeting is held in our usual function room at the Christ Lutheran Church, 701 S. Charles, during the week before the new permits come into affect. The exact date of the permit pick-up is determined in January and posted accordingly

 

All residents collecting their permits at this meeting will be required to show the same paperwork as if the permits were picked up directly from the Parking Authority offices.

 

Payment must be made online or in person at the Parking Authority Offices (no cash is accepted at this office) – no payment of any kind can be accepted at the permit pick-up meeting.

RPP General Rules and Regulations

Residential Parking Program Background

Posted by Daniel On October - 31 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Much of the information contained here is reproduced from the City of Baltimore Parking Authority’s Residential Parking Permit Application Site, which can be found at http://baltimorecity.gov/government/parking/rpp/index.php

As is the case in any large city, the excessive demand for a very limited supply of on-street parking spaces represents a huge and often times extremely frustrating challenge for both the residents and visitors to the City of Baltimore.

The Baltimore RPP Program was begun in 1979 in an effort to address the specific needs of residents in City Neighborhoods where the demand for on-street parking was considered to be greatest. Participating neighborhoods elect to do so through application by petition to the City of Baltimore through the Baltimore City Parking Authority.

Since its inception, the RPP Program has grown to include 40 designated RPP Areas each designated with its own specific number or letter. Parking in each of these areas is restricted to some degree to provide preferential parking privileges only to those residents and their guests who display valid Residential Parking Permits and Visitors Passes on their automobiles. These permits and passes are issued and valid for a one-year period from the designated annual renewal date for each specific RPP Area. Residents must re-apply every year.

As is the case with any privilege, your receipt of RPP’s and/or Visitors Passes requires your complete understanding and acceptance of a very specific set of Terms, Conditions and Regulations that have been instituted to assure your continued safety and convenience as a resident of the City of Baltimore.

Residents at Southern High Apartments and Lee Street Memorial Baptist Church are Bringing Mwamba Uganda Children’s Choir Back to Federal Hill by Popular Demand – Sunday, November 22nd at 1:00pm-to-2:00pm. All are Welcome to this Free Concert.

Posted by Daniel On October - 28 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Dear Friends, please visit the MWAMBA CHILDREN’S CHOIR BLOG
to watch their latest Promotional Video.

MWAMBA UGANDA CHILDREN’S CHOIR was founded by Stephen Sekitende to raise funds and groom talent through music from I AM Children’s Family.  MWAMBA has recorded two studio albums and has toured USA, England, Northern Ireland, Sweden and Denmark including at the famous Choral festival.

Friends of The Choir help meet the considerable costs of the choir training, travel, medical needs and living expenses as the choir tours around the world.  This is a most rewarding way of giving to the choir and the teachers who give so much to spread love and hope wherever they perform.

I AM Children’s Family was founded in 1998, and is a fully registered Non-Government Organization in Uganda as Charity No. S. 591/6624.   I AM Children’s Family supports over 200 children orphaned by AIDS and other diseases.  Its ministry is based on a strong Christian background and focuses on nurturing honest, God-fearing leaders of tomorrow, as well providing the five basic needs of a child: food, shelter, clothing, education and parental love.

The Choir is under the umbrella of I AM Children’s Family and has a supporting organization in the USA called Partners United Thru Christ (P.U.T.C.I.).  The major objective of the Choir’s 2009 Tour is to raise funds to build a multi-purpose facility, primary and secondary schools, a hospital, and sports facility for the children.

MWAMBA UGANDA CHILDREN’S CHOIR recently, has performed at two standing room neighborhood churches in Federal Hill.  The FHNA Social Committee is delighted to share this invitation with members of FHNA during our Autumn Season.  For further information, please contact: Michael Gamon at email: gamon.michael@gmail.com or 410-926-4048, and/or FHNA Social Committee Chair, Wali at email: mutazammil@hotmail.com or 443-602-7718.

FHNA Social Committee, Chair Claims a Success on Saturday, October 17th for Residents in the Clean-Up Project in Federal Hill

The Mayor’s Fall Clean-Up Project in Federal Hill was successful. Wali Mutazammil, FHNA Social Committee Chair was informed on Saturday, October 17th at 8:00am that the clean–up project was still scheduled as planned despite the damp weather. As the old saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, once again that old saying is resonating in Federal Hill. Our environmentally conscious neighbors deposited bags of leaves and bags of trash, broken tree branches, etc. at the corner of William St. & Warren Avenue, which was the designated pick-up point for supplies and drop-off point for trash, debris, etc. Residents were the backbone in the success of the clean-up project. The oneness of spirit, great energy with laughter and a “can do” mood among our residents was present. Congrats to all residents who participated throughout our neighborhood, as well as those could not make it on Saturday. Collectively, I believe, if a few more residents keep showing-up consistently with oneness of spirit, great energy with laughter and a “can do” mood, ‘we can do anything’ and have a positive affect in our neighborhood in 2009-2010. Special thanks to Kathie McCleskey for picking-up the supplies, Kelly Sheehan block captain for taking the initiative to call and going the extra mile, Jane Wehrle for giving multiple announcements in The Loop, Pastor Lyn O’Berry from Lee Street Memorial Baptist Church and his congregation for offering a wheel barrow and extra hands, management at Southern High Apartments for encouraging their residents to participate in the clean-up, Walt Saxon and many others for their encouragement and moral support.
