Hi neighbors, 

Happy Hispanic & Latine Heritage Month (09/15-10/15), Happy African American Heritage Month (September) and Happy Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving 09/16-09/18) !

I hope everyone is easing back into the swing of things smoothly. 

I know I sound like a broken record, but please slow down and be aware of other drivers, walkers, bikers, etc. 

I also ask that each of us do our part in locking our vehicles and being mindful of reporting when cars are rifled through, even if nothing of huge value was taken, the police need this data. I ask that if you are reporting and feel comfortable doing so, please let me know. I want to make sure that CPD is aware and follows up with you. (301-678-3796)

We had a good community conversation at 63rd Place and Joslyn. Many neighbors came out to discuss some activity they were victim to over the summer and we looked for some quick easy fixes and discussed long-term resolutions to other issues. 

At this specific intersection, we are looking at increasing lighting to reduce loitering and remove one of the benches that is rotting near the woods. 

CPD is increasing their drive around in this area and continues to ask for residents to lock their car doors, have decent lighting on and around their property, and report right away. 

We will have another community conversation in the area (likely at the top of the hill) to discuss traffic concerns, public safety and crime, and other issues residents in the area have. Please be on the lookout for that. 

Thanks to Police Chief Morris, Assistant Chief Krauss, Sgt. Biler, and Exec Asst. Romero, Town Administrator Galloway and Cheverly Public Works Ms. Prom for joining me last night.

  • Public Works Updates
    • Ecosite will begin a watershed assessment of the area behind the 6400 block of Forest Road. The Scope includes developing a watershed drainage map, conducting hydrology and hydraulics evaluation, and reviewing original building construction and county building requirements. This is expected to take 6-9 months and is the first step to addressing the issues of erosion in this area.
    • WSSC is not done with their work in town. We have gone through an extensive process to bring their attention to the issues of their sub-contractor and they are in agreement that these outstanding issues must be fixed. 
    • Under drainage work on Woodway to connect the sewers with the catch basins has completed. 
    • Eley Public Work Building is set to open early 2025. I have received feedback regarding the size of this new building. Please note that the 2nd floor is set out ot provide community space for the many organizations who need space throughout the year. It will be nice to have an accessible space that allows for more community activity.

Also there is a community meeting scheduled for September 18 to discuss what community members would like to see. 
    • 5701 Landover Road has been cleaned up thanks to Public Works and Community Native Planting Project. Similar to the Kilmer Park Arboretum, community input will be important in the process to turn this into a town park.

Please Please report so our department is aware of things as they happen and can identify trends and/or needs. 
    • Please slow down and drive safely. I am sure many of you heard about the motorcycle fatality last week at 202 and Cheverly Ave. It is a tragic accident and a reminder that life is precious.
