City Councilmember - Ward 3

Notified About

  • 6401–6499 Sentinel Dr Hyattsville 20782, United States - Ward 3
    Please install a crosswalk at Editors Park Drive and Sentinel Ave. The absence of a crosswalk creates a hazard for residents of the area AND school children attending Nicholas Orem. Cars are reluctant to stop for pedestrians.
  • 3401 East West Highway Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    This garage is located in a residential district and lacks appropriate sound proofing to motivate the noise coming from the garage. You can hear people screaming, loud exhausts and various other sounds 24/7. Please request that the apartment building restructure the garage to decrease the noise.
  • 6215 Herald Street Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    The Edition Apartments Management in Hyattsville has been leaving trash bins along Sentinel Drive along the fire lanes, blocking traffic and emergency vehicles from access.
  • East-West Hwy & Toledo Ter Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    Crosswalk sign needed at Southernmost point of intersection at Toledo Terrace and East-West Highway. Pedestrians crossing Toledo Terrace from the Eastbound side of East West Highway have to rely on traffic lights to cross.
  • 6206 Enquirer Street Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    Last night (Friday, November 6, 2020), as well as on other occasions, people on ATVs have been speeding / racing on Sentinel St. between Toledo Terrace and Editors Park Drive. Needless to say this is incredibly dangerous. It would be much appreciated if the city would install speed humps. Conduct a study if need be, but please make Sentinel safer for Hyattsville residents.
  • 6000 41st Ave Hyattsville MD 20782, United States - Ward 3
    Painted crosswalks are needed at intersection of 41st ave and Oglethorpe Motorists routinely ignore stop signs, and this is a high traffic intersection for pedestrians navigating btw Queens Chapel and Route 1 There is also a key Metro bus line, adding additional vehicle strike risk to pedestrians
  • 6100–6110 41st Ave Hyattsville 20782, United States - Ward 3
    Cars use the area from corner of 40th and Oliver all the way down to Queens Chapel as a dragstrip. They routinely go upwards of 50 or 55 miles an hour. It is irresponsible of the city to have so long a stretch with just one stop sign and no speed bumps. There’s a huge flow of cars that goes straight from the liquor corner store, turns and then flies down this road. There are no less than 25 children that live in a two block radius. Please do not tell me to go house to house during this time to ask for a speed bump. This happens at least three or four times a day and a car has never been pulled over. A child is going to get hit by a car.
  • Journal St Hyattsville MD 20782, United States - Ward 3
    Every school day at around 4:00pm vehicles enter the Editor's Park community waiting for pick up at Nicholas Orem Middle school at 6100 Editor's Park Drive. Our community needs police to intervene on Journal St and Sentinel Drive at the intersection of Editor's Park Drive, during the 4:00pm to 4:30pm Monday - Friday. There are a caravan of vehicles blocking residents of our community from entering and exiting as well as vehicles blocking our cars within our driveways.
  • 6215 Herald Street Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    Cross streets Sentinel Drive and Herald Street. 12:09pm on 5/8/2020, The Edition Apartment complex, once again leaving trash bins on Sentinel Drive, blocking fire access lanes, under a clearly marked "No Parking" sign.
  • 6211 Herald St Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    Abandoned vehicle illegally parked in a handicapped parking spot. Located in the Editor’s Park neighborhood on Sentinel Drive
  • Editors Park Dr Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
    This is a request to please add crosswalks, speed bumps, or a stop sign on Editors Park Dr. and Sentinel St. This is a dangerous intersection and I have almost been hit by cars speeding down Editors Park Dr. towards Orem Middle School as I cross at Sentinel to walk to the Metro. Furthermore, since Editors Park Dr. leads to Orem Middle School it is extremely dangerous to students during the school year. With the safety of the community in mind, I would appreciate it it Hyattsville would evaluate the safety of this intersection and, at the very least, paint sidewalks. Thank you.
  • 6211 Herald St Hyattsville, MD, 20782, USA - Ward 3
