Rev Plot PlanMaryland Science Center management is seeking your input on the proposed installation of a series of solar panels over the existing open air parking lot that runs along the north side of Key Highway from William Street east. Pictured is a comparison of the pre and post construction views from street (grade) level at Key Highway.

Please submit your comments and or suggestions to federalhillonline@yahoo.com or post your comments at www.federalhillna.org.

It is currently anticipated that the Science Center’s design team will present their plans in detail at FHNA’s March 16th General Membership Meeting. This schedule could change to due problems associated with the renewal of our Area 9 Residential Parking Permits. The latest info is always available at www.federalhillna.org. Book mark the URL.

As a reminder, the Science Center, the Greater Baltimore Committee, the Baltimore Development Corporation, the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association, the Waterfront Partnership and other business interests continue to support an effort to identify the highest and best use for Rash Field. As the “only remaining undeveloped parcel of land along the Inner Harbor Waterfront”, the group feels that Rash Field should be developed to provide a destination attraction designed to bolster decreasing Inner Harbor tourist visits. Anne Arundel Mills Mall displaced the Inner Harbor as Maryland’s top tourist destination again last year.

FHNA needs your input before the planning process for the Rash Filed Re-Development Project gets too far ahead of us. Share your thoughts at federalhillonline@yahoo.com or post comments at www.federalhillna.org.

The 2009/2010 (Orange) RPP passes for Area 9 have been extended until March 31st, 2010.

FHNA does not believe that the Parking Authority’s new computer system (T2) is currently able to provide the level of administrative competence necessary to successfully renew the Area 9 RPP program in 2010. FHNA has requested that the 2010/2011 renewal be postponed until certain basic criteria are met, including reinstating many of the safeguards that were previously in place but which are not being applied under the new system.

The Parking Authority has acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and have agreed to this request.

The Parking Authority is liaising with Parking Enforcement to ensure that all of the Area 9 passes remain valid until March 31st, 2010.

At this time the Parking Authority website is not open for 2010 renewals.

The Federal Hill Neighborhood Association will continue to work on your behalf in this matter and will endeavor to keep you informed as to any new developments regarding the upcoming renewal.
