  • 42nd Ave & Oliver St Hyattsville, MD, 20781, USA - Ward 1

    I previously requested a stop sign due to the dangerous situation at this intersection (Request # 15367540). The previous request was rejected saying I needed a petition with 60 percent of block residents before the city would even consider it.

    Another resident asked about whether all units in the adjoining apartment buildings count toward the population of the block for the purposes of such a petition and got no response.

    Near crashes with cars and pedestrians continue to occur routinely, especially around school traffic.

    This morning there was a crash involving a school bus at this intersection.

    I understand the need to carefully consider traffic calming options, but it seems nonsensical to just let crashes keep happening until citizens themselves organize a petition. A stop sign would have safety benefits here and not harm anyone. Almost every other intersection on 42nd has a four-way stop. It is implausible that this intersection needs special study before making it like all the others.

    Is the government unable to put up a stop sign on its own without waiting for an official petition with ambiguous requirements? If the residents' desire for a stop sign must be submitted through a special petition, can the government not act on its own desire to fix this situation?

  • Gallatin Street At 43rd Avenue Hyattsville, MD 20781, USA - Ward 1
    Add "DO NOT ENTER" signs. Too many people go down this street in the wrong direction and with the two schools on the street, the traffic is very dangerous.

  • 4201 Gallatin St Hyattsville, MD 20781, USA - Ward 1
    whenever there is a rain, the water comes down the alley, bringing debris and everything else, and the water and debris, just stops on Gallatin. The water sits and the debris is never cleaned up.

  • 6223 43rd Avenue Hyattsville, MD, 20781, USA - Ward 1
    This tree is on the corner of 43rd AVE and east west. It was struck by lightning a few years ago and never cared for. Large branches fall — on the street and you can see how it broke a part of the fence. This is very dangerous for all of us walking and/or driving on these streets.
