Staff presented draft concept to the Hyattsville
Planning Committee on May 2, 2006 for review
and comment. Changes were made to the Magruder
Park segment to reflect feedback from this presentation.
Staff presented the preliminary draft concept
to Hyattsville City Council and the community
on June 5, 2006. Changes to include bike lanes
and redirect the Artway route along Gallatin
Street were made and the preliminary draft was
distributed to council at the June 19, 2006 meeting
for comment. Council acted on the draft concept
at the July 10, 2006 meeting and approved with
conditions:
-
Artway
North should follow Jefferson Street
beginning at Baltimore Avenue,
connect to 40th
Avenue, continuing on to Hamilton
Street
at the five-point intersection
at Magruder Park.
-
Artway North concept plan should recommend
narrowing travel lane
width where possible.
-
Edge of park along Hamilton Street could
be defined
with vegetation only.
-
Emphasis bike lane where possible.
- Lighting
recommendations should be consistent with
dark skies principles.
Staff
has made
these changes and will present
the
Artway North concept
plan to thePrince
George’s County
Planning Board
for approval
on July
27, 2006.
