<DIV>I live on Queensbury in Hyattsville and can assure everyone that
with the development at the PG Metro, UTC, and the Plaza our traffic has
become MUCH worse. Last week some fool tried to hit me while
I was backing out of my driveway near a stop sign. He
sped up when I backed out, racing to get past me, accelerating toward
the stop sign. (It almost turned into a road rage incident; I gave
his plate number to our Police.) Since the additional development,
most days we have solid, stopped traffic from Queens Chapel to 42nd in
the afternoons. We begged our city to do traffic studies and
take action before development. We were ignored; now we are living
with the mess. A Whole Foods would be nice, but it would not be
worth destroying what is left of our quiet residential
communities. Just a neighbor's thoughts... </DIV>

a real issue with the development of the Cafritz property and that’s
access. I live on Queensbury Rd near Rhode Island Ave.
There’s enough traffic on Queensbury already. I am not in favor
of using Rhode Island Ave as a main access road into the Cafritz
property. Let Calvert Hills or University Park (Queens Chapel
Rd) provide access or have Cafritz arrange for another RR
crossing to River Rd. I’m tired of dealing with people racing up
and down Queensbury at all hours of the night and the cut through
traffic. If this development moves forward, Riverdale may have
to bear the burden of more traffic while Calvert Hills and University
Park maintain their “park like setting”. I think it’s time we as
a community let Cafritz arrange (pay) for access to their property and
not dump it on our streets. It’s all about money. I don’t
want to deal with the traffic so Cafritz gets a big pay day.
It’s not just me either. Anyone living on Rhode Island Ave,
Queensbury Rd, Riverdale Rd (Rt 1 side), Oliver St (Rt 1 side), and
Madison are going to see a significant increase in traffic. You
folks who live on Riverdale Rd (Rt 1 side), Oliver St (Rt 1 side), and
Madison St are going get a lot of cut through traffic to the Cafritz
property just like what I have to put up with on Queensbury. No
more quiet streets for you, but we’ll have a Whole Foods just down the
street. Great!</SPAN>

why not have the state/county purchase the Cafritz property and set it

values. After all, how many neighborhoods have a park right next

apartment buildings, banks, restaurants, ……………………………………………………………

After a few years of recession-induced<BR>torpor, it appears

Property, a 35.8-acre tract of undeveloped land on Route
1<BR>immediately to the south of College Park. Whole Foods would
like to be<BR>the anchor tenant for this development (it is
listed among their<BR>“stores in development“. As the lively

regard this as the best thing since<BR>unsliced organic bread,
