Work on University Hills streets won’t begin as soon as the city intended, but some of the funds set aside for that project will in the meantime be used toward work on Crittenden Street. In August of 2010 Hyattsville issued bonds for about $4.1M. Of those funds, $2.1M was for the city’s five-year street rehabilitation program. $1.9M was for the University Hills streets. $50K was for work on City Hall and another $50K was earmarked for sidewalk connectivity projects, according to City Treasurer Elaine Stookey. “We realized not too long ago that we weren’t going to be able to start construction on University Hills as soon as we thought,” she told the City Council at a Nov. 7 public hearing about the bond proceeds. “It made sense to use that …
