The Westminster City Council is expected to award a $2.1 million contract tomorrow night to renovate West Green Street. The project, which includes reconstructing the road and sidewalks between Liberty Street and New Windsor Road, has been in the works for at least two years, said Thomas B. Beyard, the city's director of planning and public works. The street lacks storm water drains, and West Green Street often floods. "The whole street is like a big river when it rains," said Councilman Robert P. Wack, who lives on the street.

Algae isn't always the nuisance it's been in the Chesapeake Bay lately.  Some Baltimore city students learned Wednesday that at least some strains of the microscopic aquatic plants hold promise for beneficial uses, as sources of sustainable fish food or renewable energy. Green Street Academy , a two-year-old public middle-high school in West Baltimore with a focus on the green movement and associated careers, explored algae's energy potential during its "Energy Exchange," a three-day end-of-year expo for students, their families and others in the community.

Cars whiz by like unguided missiles while Bill Vondrasek stands on the median strip of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard surveying a disorderly patch of greenery accented with red, green, blue and yellow blossoms. He's mildly displeased. As the city's chief horticulturist, its flower beds are his domain. "All up and down Martin Luther King on the end paths there are what we call `gateway beds,'" Vondrasek says. "It's a program funded by federal transportation money because this is a gateway into the city, and we want gateways into the city to look nice."
