Please add intersection improvements at Baltimore Avenue (Route 1) and Jefferson. Residents have been advocating for improvements at this intersection for more than five years and SHA has been slow to respond and plan. We need a fourth crosswalk with a pedestrian signal. We also need an exclusive pedestrian interval/Barnes dance to stop traffic in all directions and allow bicyclists and pedestrians to cross. This intersection is a critical connection for kids, parents and teachers who travel between the Arts District and several schools including Hyattsville Elementary, St Jerome's Child Center, St. Jerome's Academy, Hyattsville Middle School and DeMatha High School. Likewise, this area attracts residents and visitors to eat and shop. People need to feel safe when they walk or bike through this intersection. There are also several bus routes that stop near this intersection (Metro, the Ride, UM Shuttle) and transit riders deserve a safe intersection as well. During rush hour, drivers run red lights, block crosswalks and otherwise endanger pedestrians and cyclists at this intersection. Please don't omit it from the plan.

Great plan so far! Needs an intro to explain what the term sustainability means. Let's lay out the concepts of social, economic and environmental sustainability. Many folks will assume this plan focuses narrowly on environmental, eco or green concepts like LEED, reduce/re-use/recycle, storm water management, active transportation, climate change, etc. and that assumption might prevent some people from reading, participating, speaking up and helping to implement the plan.
