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.

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.

Graffiti in Deitz Park

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The sidewalks adjacent to the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Dept. and the crosswalks at Belcrest and Queens Chapel, and East-West Highway and Queens Chapel remain nearly impassable because of snow and ice. Indeed, in front of the fire department, plows have created large mounds of snow where the sidewalks intersect the driveway, forcing walkers to divert dangerously into the street. I’m grateful for the work DPW and MDOT have done to clear snow and ice. But this is a major thoroughfare and critical route for those of us commuting into the city for work, doctors’ appointments, etc. Can you please work with DPW, MDOT, and the HVFD to clear the sidewalks and crosswalks, and provide an update about anticipated timing for doing so?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Intersection of 39th Pl and Oneida Pl is not plowed, and has high snow that is causing cars to get stuck.
