Weeding Party

weedHello Huntington Terrace Neighbors:

It is that time of year again when the plants seem to explode at the HT community garden. If you haven’t checked it out already, please take a look at what’s coming up at the triangle at Garfield and Roosevelt! Hopefully you’ll be pleasantly surprised…

Unfortunately, mixed in along with our beautiful shrubs and perennials, a few weeds have also decided to show their face. From 9-11 am, Saturday, July 13th, we are looking for volunteers to come and assist with pulling those little green annoyances out of our beautiful community garden If you can stop by for 30 minutes or an hour that would be great. Extra tools will be available, but if you have garden gloves, please bring them. If this date does not work for you, please feel free to come by and pull weeds anytime in the weeks and months ahead – helpers are always welcome.

This is a neighborhood project so any contribution (labor or financial) are most welcome. As always, our personal thanks to EVERYONE who has graciously assisted and/or contributed previously.

Hope to see you on the 13th!

Deborah Perry & Terese Bernstein

Statement Regarding MC Planning Board Meeting

Statement on behalf of the Huntington Terrace Citizens’ Association, from Allan Gold, association president

 April 18, 2013

“We are gratified that the Montgomery County Planning Board today confirmed important changes in the Suburban Hospital expansion plan that would greatly benefit the Huntington Terrace neighborhood, including saving 13 homes from demolition, limiting the height of a new parking garage on Southwick Street and addressing traffic patterns related to its use, and maintaining strict limits on noise pollution. The changes in the plan approved by the Planning Board, and the Montgomery County Board of Appeals before it, are the fruit of years of hard work of many neighborhood residents and our counsel, Norman Knopf.

“We look forward to the decision of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, which is expected to rule this year on whether the Board of Appeals should rehear important elements of the hospital expansion issue.

“We also take this opportunity to remind everyone that the Huntington Terrace neighborhood has never opposed the modernization and expansion of Suburban Hospital. What we have sought are improvements in its plan that balance the needs of the hospital with those of our neighborhood.”
