Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Hyattsville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Kennedy Street Project contract change
The Council added about $123,000 to three maintenance contracts — tree work, stormwater/bioswale upkeep, and lawn mowing — to cover more work than originally budgeted.
Stormwater Infrastructure Repairs
The city is spending up to $1 million with NZI Construction to fix stormwater infrastructure — a direct answer to Hyattsville's known flooding problems.
Streetlight LED Conversion and Overpayment Recovery
Buying the city's streetlights from Pepco and converting them to LED should cost about $1 million and save roughly $4 million over 20 years — and the city may claw back about $200,000 in past overpayments.
WSSC essential water use alert
WSSC issued an essential water use alert effective January 27 — cut outdoor watering and limit indoor use to prevent water main breaks and keep hydrant pressure up during the deep freeze. No boil-water advisory is in effect.
