Last ditch effort to save Woodberry Forest!
The paperwork on the transfer of City property to Loyola College is completed. The Board of Estimates is likely to hear it Wednesday, December 17th. The forest and community is in imminent danger.
We need everyone to write a letter NOW to be faxed to the Board of Estimates (or mailed immediately) to say you protest it and want to speak on it.
They must receive it by mail or fax for community opposition to be allowed. No emails or calls will do.
Board of Estimates
Room 204
City Hall
100 N. Holliday St.
Baltimore, MD 21202
Ask for a postponement as well.
* an independent traffic study has not been done.
* community opposition remains near absolute
*disturbing the landfill creates problems that aren't there now
Thank you.

Re: Contact Board of Estimates over Woodberry Forest
Friday, December 12, 2003
The Honorable Sheila Dixon
President, Baltimore City Council
Board of Estimates
Fax: 410-539-0647
Dear Council President Sheila Dixon:
I am writing to request that you support delaying the sale of pristine Woodberry Forest to Loyola College. I am requesting this for the following reasons:
• No independent traffic study has yet been performed to measure the impact of the development;
• Community opposition to the development is almost total;
• There are unknown dangers to disturbing the landfill there;
• The development is totally unnecessary.
Talk about gratuitous development! Loyola College is several miles away. In a city with a multitude of abandoned property there are plenty of alternative locations for Loyola College to build on. Meanwhile, Woodberry Forest is possibly the most scenic section in Baltimore.
Please don’t trade Baltimore’s future for some short-term gain. A lot of us fear that Baltimore will die as a city if harmful development like what Loyola College is planning at Woodberry is allowed to continue unchecked.
Sincerely,
Scott Loughrey
