Email response from Councilmember Thomas E. Dernoga's office
Our office appreciates you reaching out regarding your concerns. Our office understands how frustrating these matters can be and wanted to make sure we shared a few resources with you. I have emailed Revenue Authority the parking authority for Prince George's County to assist on providing a resolution to the parking violations. Prince George's County does have a residential parking program. The residential parking permit program empowers residents to set parking restriction days and times so that they control non-resident parking on the street(s) in their community. The parking program is a petition-driven initiative that requires the support of 60% of the residents in the proposed parking zone. A Parking Permit area can be any residential area that is located on public roadway in Prince George’s county. The program is free. The program is for residential use and not available for implementation on private property or in commercial and industrial areas.
After a petition is certified and the proposed area inspected; the petition must meet program guidelines. The next step is the public hearing and signs are installed. Each resident registers their personal vehicles and can have their visitors and guests registered as well. The parking permits are renewed every two years. Information and assistance is available by calling the Help Desk service line at 1-866-794-8663. CC’d is Ms. Harris of Revenue Authority who helps residents facilitate the parking program.
Regarding the traffic calming measures I’ve emailed a request for a traffic study on Quimby Ave by our Department of Public Works and Transportation. Because we’re in a State of Emergency from the global pandemic I can’t provide a timeline for completion on the traffic study but they typically take 60-90 days.
Best,
