'Slow Down!' Says Hillwood Manor Residents

The city council will vote on whether to study the traffic patterns in Hillwood Manor.

Residents of the community petitioned for a traffic calming assessment of Erskine Street to identify options to slow or reduce the flow of traffic. The Takoma Park City Council will take up the issue at Monday night's council meeting at 7:30 p.m. at the Takoma Park Auditorium. If the council votes in the affirmative, it would allow for the initiation of a study and design of possible solutions. People wishing to comment on the request may attend the public hearing and sign up to speak or comment in writing to City Clerk Jessie Carpenter, 7500 Maple Avenue, Takoma Park, MD 20912 or by e-mail to Clerk@takomagov.org.
