Leashes REQUIRED for Dogs in Latrobe Park
Reminder that there is a leash law in Baltimore City. All dogs must be on a leash, eight (8′) feet or less when entering or leaving a fenced-dog-run or off-leash-area. Any dog found “off-leash” outside of an established fenced-dog-run or off-leash-area will be subject to Baltimore City Leash Laws and associated fines. The LPCA has requested five additional signs from the city that indicate that all dogs in Latrobe Park must be on a leash. Additionally, dogs are also not to be running off leash behind FSK.

Note: Solar flood lights were recently installed in the dog park for increased visibility and safety.

The Issue of Truck Traffic in LP
Truck traffic has been an ongoing problem in LP. DOT is working to increase the cap on truck enforcement cameras (commercial vehicle over-height cameras). The city limited use to just six active cameras. A bill is in the council to increase that limit to 16. The first offense a truck will get is a warning, the second is a $125 fine, each subsequent offense is a $250 fine. Currently Fort Ave. in LP is a local truck route. Changing the truck route designation is challenging and is a long-term effort. If trucks are using cross streets like Hull and Whetstone, that can help make the case for more cameras. In-person enforcement is rare. DOT officers do not have legal authority to implement moving violations. DOT can have signage installed in the area and geocode and submit truck route restrictions to Google and Rand McNally (GPS providers).

Under Armour Parking
For commuters (and residents) UA is selling guaranteed parking spots in their Triangle Lot on Hull St. for $12/day. Parking can be purchased via the Premium Parking app or using kiosks in the lot itself.

Also, residents are welcome to park in UA’s lots in the evenings after 5pm so long as they are out the next morning by 8am. For those using the UA gym, UA asks that you park in the Triangle Lot on Hull St. rather than the Station House lot closer to the building as that lot is reserved for visitors.

Baltimore Compost Collective
The Baltimore Compost Collective is a local service that collects food scraps from residences in Baltimore neighborhoods and composts the material at the Filbert Street Community Garden in Curtis Bay, where it is used to grow fresh produce and build urban food security. It is also a youth entrepreneurship program that employs local teenagers and trains them in workforce skills, food access programming and community-scale composting. Youth workers are gaining guided, hands-on experience managing a small-scale composting operation and its expansion.
