After The Storm...

Limbs, brush, leaves and other grindable vegetative matter may be left at the parking lot on the Flats. Place debris between the yellow sawhorses... keeping it completely out of the travel lanes.

Absolutely no trash, no metal, no glass and no plastic allowed. Keep it all "green", team.

And Now... This Word From The SLVG...

The following proposals by the St. Leonard Vision Group (SLVG) do not necessarily reflect the views or objectives of the Long Beach Civic Association (LBCA), but are presented here for public evaluation.

St. Leonard Vision Group (SLVG) urges everyone to COME OUT and SHOW SUPPORT for the following This Tuesday, 1/22, 6:30pm at St. Leo Elementary

VISION: We, the people of St. Leonard, share a commitment to the vision for St. Leonard Town Center. The vision for St. Leonard Town Center is to be a safe, vibrant, traditional town center noted for its rich heritage, enduring scale, livability and charm that serves the needs of its quaint community.

OBJECTIVE/PROBLEM STATEMENT: The needs of the community are not being met in Town. More in-town shops (i.e, goods and services), recreational/exercise opportunities, and a “Town Square” are needed. No one-story strip shopping centers. Connect the proposed “Town Square” and St. Leonard Recreation Park.

STRATEGIES: Continue to refine the St. Leonard Master Plan & Zoning Ordinance. Lobby support for funding of capital improvements and policy actions that are in the Master Plan to make St. Leonard Town Center a Commissioners priority for improvements. Press for support of actions and funding that will improve the market for in-town shops, expand St. Leonard Recreation Park, and create a “Town Square.”

ACTIONS NEEDED:
- Fund sewer feasibility study & expanded water system in FY2009. Overdue by 5 years!
- County approvals/support for more Town visibility from Rt. 2/4. Traffic on Rt. 2/4 provides market for in-town shops
- Incentives or zoning changes to encourage more daytime employment. Workers provide market for in-town shops.
- Allow more housing density/smaller residential lot sizes to provide housing stock and market for in-town shops. This will also enhance the Town’s charm, livability and scale.
- More help from the Dept of Economic Development (DED) to help improve market conditions and to attract businesses to the Town Center; more dialog concerning solutions to business & economic development problems
- Updated special studies: Market analysis, land inventory & build-out potential
- Construct the proposed “Town Square” with a raised stage, water/lighting features, park benches, landscaping, and a Town Clock. Overdue by 5 years!
- Expand St. Leonard Recreation Park: New basketball & tennis courts, playground, and skateboard park
- Extend Leonard Avenue to connect with St. Leonard Recreation Park and Remove guard rail barricade at the end of Leonard Avenue
- Install signs to help visitors find existing parking in front of Dowell House meeting hall and St. Leonard Recreation Park
- Construct sidewalks between Beach communities and Town to get back to when we could easily walk between these places/communities without concern for pedestrian safety.

If you have any questions, call Tim Grover, President, St. Leonard Vision Group 410-586-9819.

SHA Makes An Old Light Right...

Thanks to SHA District Engineer Greg Welker and his associates, St. Leonard's traffic signal will soon see a "separate phase for each side street approach". Eastbound Calvert Beach Rd and westbound Ball Rd will have their own signal cycles... with no more games of "chicken" as oncoming drivers turn left without warning!

You Didn't Hear It From Me, But...

UPDATE: Word now is that the new St Leonard Post Office, (located at MD 765 and Woods Road; former site of Tommie's Toad Stool), will open for business on or about Tuesday January 22nd, February 19... after the Martin Luther King President’s Day holiday.

If all goes according to plan, the contents of the old post office building will be moved and installed in its' spanking new quarters over the long holiday weekend. See you there!!!
