At the intersection of Ager Rd and Hamilton Street (right in front of the KFC) there is a "pocket" for cars making the right turn from Hamilton to Ager. Most drivers treat as an invitation to accelerate into the turn, ignoring the fact that pedestrians crossing Ager Road (many either going to or coming from the West Hyattsville Metro Station) have the right of way.
While there is a YIELD sign advising motorists making the right to yield to traffic on Ager Road. there should be a sign advising motorists to yield to pedestrians attempting to cross Ager Road.
The exisence of this dedicated "right tun pocket" is a big part of the problem. If it did not exist I am sure motorists would exercise more caution in yielding to pedestrians.

excess dumping of tires, traffic signs, bikes, tv's, etc. need to be removed to allow wildlife safe sanctity. in addition, the beaver continue to dam up the water tunnels thereby preventing a steady water flow between both sides of the waterway. lastly, the community is looking for help in beautifying this protected sanctity so county residents can watch, enjoy, & appreciate the vast array of wildlife that visit our area.

There is a gate located at the top of Research Road separating "old" Greenbelt from the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC), which was replaced in late May 2011. Before this time, for as long as anyone can recall, pedestrians and bikers were allowed to use the roughly one-mile gated road section for low-impact recreation when it was closed to thru-traffic (nights, weekends, holidays). This is a lovely natural, peaceful setting where herons, foxes, deer, eagles, beavers, snakes, otters, rabbits, muskrats, geese, ducks and other wildlife can be sighted. Many Greenbelt residents walked or biked this road, not impeding on any research activities or otherwise disturbing the area. Before May there was even a side opening on the gate where people could pass through during its locked hours and further, it wasn't difficult to slide a bike under the old gate. After the new gate was installed, however, the pass-through was covered over and in July a sign was posted indicating "No trespassing" when the road is closed to vehicular traffic. Word trickling back from BARC is that the changes are "security" related, but it has been difficult to get a dialogue or real response from them. Also, it should be noted that there is another gate approximately one mile down Research Road (intersecting Beaverdam Road) which is left open. Greenbelt residents get the impression that it is them in particular that are being denied access. This new gate was installed without any notice to Greenbelt or its Council or any indication something was amiss. Greenbelt residents, me very much included, would like the pedestrian pass-through re-opened and for walkers & bikers to be permitted by BARC to once again use this roughly one-mile section of Research Road when it is closed to vehicles. We love and treasure this bucolic, peaceful locale very much and would like to continue to use it as we have for decades.

This ramp is in bad shape, with lots of potholes and deteriorating previous repairs. Since folks from 495 are often moving full speed, this is hazardous, esp as sometimes they quickly switch lanes last minute to avoid. This has been in bad shape for many years and is only getting worse - is it ever going to get fixed?

This light has a camera; I don't know if this problem is used to increase the number of people running the light or not. The traffic light turns red for Greenbelt Rd when no cars are on Mandan Rd; it's like there isn't a sensor for cars on Mandan Rd, it just works using a timer. The length of time the light is green for Greenbelt Rd is much shorter than for Mandan Rd. This has been a problem for almost a year.
