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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There’s been two car accidents in the last 10 days (several over the past few years) as a consequence of no traffic or pedestrian signals on East West Highway and Toledo Terrace. This is a new community development with plenty of pedestrians. The sign has been knocked down and car debris remains on the road making it dangerous for both pedestrians and drivers! Can you please replace the sign and also place better traffic signals (speed cameras, pedestrian signals, etc.) for pedestrians. It’s very dangerous since drivers speed through the area all of the time.

The Edition Apartment building has dumpsters partially blocking Sentinel Drive this morning (10/4/21). This is a continuous and consistent issue that needs to be addressed.

Another full size Penske truck parked on Sentinel for well over 30 minutes unloading at the Edition.

When will the Edition manage their move ins and move outs without compromising community safety on a narrow street with bicycles,pets, and children? They are an apartment business literally in the business of dealing with move ins and move outs so this should not be hard. They control hundreds of parking spaces and a line of future resident spots on Editors Park Drive which could easily accommodate larger vehicles while still leaving multiple designated future resident spots in their parking structure.

Creating a dangerous situation is NOT their only solution!

Drivers ignore the stop signs at 40th and Oglethorpe from all directions. It has become a major safety issue for everyone, adults and kids, walking in this area because drivers do not stop.
