  • Idea: Replace the trees along the north side of Hamilton Street with native canopy trees to promote a more beautiful and scaled streetscape character

    Mike Bello about 2 years ago

    Lets work on replacing the inherently small crape myrtle trees along the north face of Hamilton Street (W. Hyattsville's Main St) and install native seasonal canopy trees (ie. Acer rubrum / Red Maple) along the north and south sides (and median if needed) to enhance the streetscape appeal. Its a very low-cost task with a positive return.

  • Idea: There still is no "There" there. The Arts District needs an area with art galleries where artists can showcase their work more regularly.

    The Arts District lacks a unified vibe. The are's brand as an artsy and local destination would benefit greatly from encouraging more art gallery businesses and art events on a weekly basis. The annual festival does not resonate for long, and there are no notices of art events that are accessible by bike or walking. We should encourage a more cohesive and unified area within the district for artists to showcase their work and promote it through events. Also consider programming art walks that showcase artists along an engaging and interactive walk for visitors and locals.

  • Idea: Consider enhancing crosswalks at locations along US-1 to balance the pedestrian/car appeal

    From high school students to baby carriages, our city is growing smarter and using its feet and bicycles more than ever. If we cannot reduce the posted speed limit on roadways like US-1 we should implement smart crosswalk to minimize accidents and fatalities. Like Arlington County, and many other municipalities, these devices can help our speed cameras reduce speeds while adding that extra protection for other important commuters using our public rights of way - people and bikes.

  • Idea: Can our future bike lanes be separated and colored bike lanes, like in DC and Montgomery County?

    Hyattsville is a beautiful pedestrian and bike friendly city that neighbors many more bike and pedestrian friendly cities. We don't just welcome cars in our city, but bikes and pedestrians equally. The best way to underscore this is through highlight those paths through painted and separated bike lanes. Please see the attached photo of what Montgomery County and Washington, DC are doing today.

  • Idea: Can we have a beer garden to go with the beer?

    It would be great to have a more vibrant destination and local appeal with our very own beer garden. This would also help make our community more of a regional destination. It can be seasonal, like Garden District in DC.

  • Idea: Introduce a Circulator to link the Arts District, pG

    Better connect to each other, and to destinations with one easily reliable system. The Circulator will also attract DC/regional residents to our unique destinations as well as connect us all more efficiently during weekdays and weekends.
