Road Closure:          
4000 block 34th Street
Mount Rainier, Maryland 20712

To all residents, commercial, and property owners:

It has been brought to our attention that the hole in the center of the road way in front of 4010 34th Street is seriously undermining the stability of the roadway.  After consultation with both WSSC and Prince George’s County Department of Public Works Transportation, it appears for now that the repairs are solely the responsibility of the city until further investigation reveals otherwise.

In an effort to ensure the safety of our residents and those who use the roadway, work will be carried out beginning Tuesday, January 24, 2012 for the necessary repairs.  As a result, the 4000 block of 34th Street will be closed to vehicular traffic for the duration of the repairs.

At this time we are unable to give a specific time frame that the street will be closed as the scope of work is not yet known.  We apologize for any in convenience caused.

THE CITY OF MOUNT RAINIER HAS PARKING AVAILABLE ON THE BASS LOT LOCATED AT 3208 RHODE ISLAND AVENUE FOR $25 PER MONTH FOR RESIDENTS, BUSINESS OWNERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.

City Seeks Business Member for Town Center Design Review Committee

The City is currently soliciting for one business member for the Town Center Design Review Committee.  The Committee is composed of 2 business members, 2 resident members and 2 municipal members and reviews all new development projects and exterior renovations in the Mixed-Use Town Center Zone.  This Zone extends along Rhode Island Avenue from the City limits into the 3400 block and along 34th Street from the 3700 block into the 4000 blocks and includes part of Bunker Hill.  Each Committee member will be given a copy of the Mount Rainier Town Center Development Plan. This plan contains the design guidelines which the Committee uses to review applications.

Business and/or property owner members must own either a business or property within the Mixed-Use Town Center Zone or the City.  The City would again be looking for members who have a sense of fairness in reviewing applications and who are interested in the on-going revitalization of the downtown business area.  Committee members should be willing to help encourage appropriate building alterations and signage among business and property owners and to help educate rather than regulate. Applications to be on the Committee are due to City Hall by November 11, 2011.  The final selection of committee members will be made by the Maryland National Capital Park & Planning Commission from the pool of applicants submitted by the City.
