Hyaaftsvi||e Council
Approves Proposal
For Crossing Safety

Additional safety devices for the
Melrose crossing Of the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad tracks were approved
by the Hyattsville City Council last
night.
Mayor Caesar L. Aiello read plan
from the railroad which the Council
accepted. The city will construct a
raised concrete white center strip
in the street on both sides of the
tracks and a traffic signal on the
Rhode Island avenue side which will
turn red when trains approach.
The railroad will erect two signs
to light automatically on the other
side of the tracks when trains ap-
proach. They will warn against
right and left turns off Railroad
avenue, parallel to the tracks when
trains enter the block.
Existing Gates to Be Retained.
The existing gates guarding the
crossing will be retained. 1t was
explained that one OF the series of
accidents at the crossing was the
result of a motorist failing to keep
to the right side of the street and
being prevented from leaving the
tracks by the gates. The center
strip is expected to relieve this
problem.
The last fatal accident was in
April, 1947, when two persons were
killed when an automobile was
trapped between the crossing gates.
The Council heard report from
Mayor Aiello on recent plans of the
Army District Engineers for flood
control and navigational improve
ments in the Anacostia River. Al

plan which met general approval,
