There's a lot of great ideas in the priority list. I avidly support making Hyattsville a safe and comfortable place to walk and bicycle. The proposal to transform Hamilton seems particularly good. However I didn't see any documentation about the need to connect 39th Street and Madison to Nicholson Street. The traffic signal at Queen's Chapel and Nicholson will likely create back up traffic on Nicholson. Any increase in traffic on Nicholson would negatively impact the Bicycle Boulevard proposal. Connecting another road there doesn't seem like a great idea. If a road-size outlet is in demand from 39th and Madison, it would make more sense and be shorter to connect through the existing driveway at Independence Court across from Manorwood. There is room for pedestrian / bicycle trail access if that was the need. I don't like the idea of taking someone's home for a road. It's not that far from 39th and Madison to Longfellow which connects to Queen's Chapel. There is redevelopment planned for Sacred Heart at the end of 38th Street which could incorporate a new connection to Queen's Chapel as well.
