Commuters eager to find more parking at the New Carrollton Metro station in Prince George’s County, Maryland, may find themselves closer to a coveted open parking space soon. On Sunday, a new parking garage will be opening
the P1 Garage at New Carrollton will open and the existing bus loop will move to the first level
The bus loop currently runs outside of the P1 Garage
Commuters may want to map out the changes coming their way between now and summer
Parking capacity will be increasing by 550 spaces during the first phase of the development at the P1 and P2 parking garages
Once both garages are fully open this summer
entries and exits will be closed temporarily while upgrades are carried out
but the top two levels of the P2 Garage will remain open — drivers can access that area via the vehicle bridge on Level 7 of the P1 Garage
Those dropping off a commuter at the surface Kiss and Ride lot will find that quick drop-off area moving to the first level of the P2 Garage
construction of a new plaza at the station and garage gets underway
Some of the reconfigurations there should take about two months
Metro said delays and congestion should be expected while the changes are being made

to better reflect the nature of the security camera program
The Carrollton Police Department is expanding its security camera capabilities
which allows residents to voluntarily send their own live security camera footage – from tools like Ring – into CPD’s feed
those improvements to efficiency for retrieving video footage for our investigators and crime scene technicians
it just increases exponentially,” said Carrollton Assistant Police Chief Caleb West
The department already keeps a voluntary registry of hundreds of private security cameras that West said has aided in solving previous crimes
The new video integration option is a “game changer,” he said
“We created the camera registry many years ago to try and cut down on that time,” he said
this is simply … improvements to technology.”
the company will not keep any data past 30 days
they don't want police officers going back two years in the past to go and like track their movements,” Metz said
The company was recently found to have installed dozens of cameras on public property in Fort Worth without approval from the city
alleges the city’s use of Flock’s license plate reader technology “allows police to monitor the comings and goings of all drivers in the city.”
Carrollton PD also uses Flock’s license plate recognition technology
as they are aware of all the cameras on Carrollton city property
“We share the same transparency and privacy concerns as everyday citizens,” he said
Carrollton police officers are restricted from accessing or viewing camera footage without a law enforcement purpose
It has to be documented and logged by the officer as they seek to view that information

— The Ohio and Kentucky Rivers have finally crested near Carrollton
Many homes in Carrollton are still surrounded by water
The only way to Russell’s rental home is by boat because of the severe flooding
You got to park out here and paddle your way in
Russell said this is the highest he has seen the river in the 15 years he has been renting out the property
“There’s nothing like sitting out and watching the water
you have situations like this,” Russell said
The house itself is avoiding the flood water
but the community near Greens Bottom Road will need some restoration
“We’ll have debris that we’ll have to clean up
and you can see a lot of it right here starting to gather as the water goes down,” he said
The Carrollton Police Department said the number of people staying at a shelter peaked at over 260 people
there are just under 100 people at the shelter
“Those folks that are going back are the ones that had evacuated thinking that it would get in their home
they’re safe to go back,” Carrollton Mayor Robb Adams said
Adams said the city’s emergency operations center is transitioning its focus from evacuations to recovery and rebuilding
“What that looks like for us is getting boots on the ground and crews there to see how many homes that were
A waterline on trees and homes showed Kentucky River has gone down several inches
but that’s not going to happen,” Russell said
Carrollton is collecting cleaning supplies
Donations can be dropped off at the county road department on Park Avenue
Items will be distributed to pod locations across the county where people in need can pick them up

homeowners are still waiting for flood waters to recede before they can begin assessing damage and starting the cleanup process
The water has receded quickly and significantly — one property owner said it receded a block in 24 hours — but numerous homes are still surrounded by water
leaving residents bracing for what they might find inside

A Carrollton Public Schools teacher delivered a threatening and profanity-laced speech during a Bay City commissioners meeting earlier this week
Michigan Capitol Confidential confirmed with multiple sources that the speaker is Matthew Sylvester
a history teacher at Carrollton Public Schools
Sylvester launched into a three-minute tirade criticizing the Trump administration
During the public comment period at the April 7 city commission meeting
Sylvester said Musk was “destroying the jobs and livelihoods of fellow countrymen.”
He accused the Trump administration of crimes amounting to “fascism and monstrous apathy.”
Sylvester also criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris
She “tried to run to the right of Trump on certain issues like immigration,” he said
The public school teacher compared recent deportations to “supporting the genocide in Gaza.”
Sylvester concluded his comments by insulting Rep. Timmy Beson, R-Bay City, who, he said, blackmailed Mayor Chris Girard into vetoing a resolution that would have barred the city from cooperating with federal immigration officials. The mayor said in a statement that the allegation was false
but I hope he chokes on a bag of d--- and dies,” Sylvester said
“A big part of my job as a state representative is to communicate things that are happening in Lansing with our local leaders
and that’s exactly what I did in this situation by sharing my concerns with the mayor of Bay City,” Beson wrote
“There is no place for that kind of language in civil discourse
Corey DeAngelis, a visiting fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, first shared a video of Sylvester’s remarks on April 9
DeAngelis also posted screenshots from a meeting showing the commissioners approved the resolution
and an attempt to override it fell short by one vote
Carrollton Public Schools cannot comment about personnel matters
Superintendent Tiffany Peterson told Dave Bondy
digital and video content manager at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy
Sylvester did not return a message seeking comment
Gretchen Whitmer said that just 24% of 4th graders can read proficiently and 24% of 8th graders are proficient in math

Ohio (WKEF) -- Three major development projects are happening at the same time in West Carrollton
and city officials attribute this to the city's business friendly environment and strategic planning
Culvers will be the first business to establish itself in the highly anticipated River District
The River District is an area right off Exit 47 of Interstate 75 that the city has strategically purchased over the years to make way for this kind of redevelopment
Sheetz on South Alex Road is part of the city’s ongoing development efforts and is expected to provide both convenience and economic benefits to the area
and moving towards the center of town the former Sonic location is being redeveloped into a Dunkin Donuts
West Carrollton City Manager Amber Holloway says lots of planning and work have gone into creating a business friendly environment for West Carrollton
"It's a testament to the belief in what we're doing here in the city
when they are successful here and we believe that they will be
that can be a testament to prove to other businesses and brands that may be looking in this area," said Holloway
Plans are also in the works to make West Carrollton a premiere recreation destination with a planned whitewater park on the Great Miami River
Holloway said from her perspective good things are happening and the community wants to see it continue to grow
"Anytime we see new businesses and investment in the community
I believe the community is excited to welcome new businesses as well
and it's a great time to be here in West Carrollton," Holloway said
City leaders are proud of West Carrollton's diverse and thriving business community
All three projects are shooting for a completion date later this summer
the Carrollton-Farmers Branch school district is expected to announce schools it could close to cut costs as it consolidates campuses to “downsize” the district
Superintendent Wendy Eldredge has said the district faces a $19 million deficit
infrastructure and enrollment challenges – like several districts throughout the region and state.”
some community members are pushing to keep McCoy Elementary open
even though CFBISD hasn’t indicated which campuses could potentially be closed
Heather Newell is one of nearly 1,000 people who have already signed a Change.org petition urging the district to keep McCoy open
While her kids did not go to McCoy Elementary
gave them so many opportunities to be involved in things
and it really made a difference in their lives,” Newell said
she realizes the district faces serious budget problems
Parent Carol Franzen also signed the petition to save McCoy
and Franzen said the family moved to Carrollton specifically for the schools and McCoy
Franzen said her daughters were in the school’s Talented and Gifted program
“And it’s very special because all the kids in that program are functioning at two grade levels ahead.”
Franzen has no idea how McCoy will measure up when officials consider schools for closure
The district says current enrollment is 422
while median elementary school enrollment is slightly above 500
Nearly half the district’s elementary schools have similar enrollment numbers
The district said it’s considering “many factors” including space, layout, age and location in determining which campuses to consolidate
have also closed schools in the face of inflation
and state education funds unchanged for five years

There was confusion surrounding the release of water from Dix Dam located between Mercer and Garrard Counties over the weekend
On Sunday afternoon Carrollton Mayor Robb Adams put out a Facebook Live video saying he had been told by Kentucky Emergency Management that 10 gates at the Dix Dam had been accidentally opened and could not be closed
He also showed an order from the Deputy Judge Executive for mandatory evacuations for several communities in the area
This information was met with a response from Franklin County Judge Executive Michael Mueller
who said what was said about the dam was quote- “misinformation” and that the water was released intentionally
The head of the Woodford County EMA said he spoke with officials with Kentucky Utilities
and was told this was a planned release of water and everything was working like it was supposed to
WEKU has reached out to the Carroll County EMA
as well as the Kentucky EMA for more information
Here is the full release from LG&E and KU:
"We want to clarify some incorrect information that was shared today regarding a release at our Dix Dam generating station in Burgin
Reports that 10 gates were inadvertently opened at Dix Dam are inaccurate. On Friday evening
we opened spill gates in a controlled fashion according to our Dam Safety Procedures
a notification was sent out Friday evening at 5:30 p.m. alerting local officials and emergency personnel that a planned release would be beginning in a few hours
The National Weather Service was provided the same notification which was then relayed to the Ohio River Forecast Center to be factored into its river forecasts
we only release inflow to Lake Herrington and no additional water into the river—meaning the flow of water is what would normally be in the river under current conditions
Flow into Herrington Lake has since subsided
and we are in the process of closing gates to maintain lake level until the Kentucky River crest subsides. Only 6 gates are currently open
and we are expecting to close additional gates this evening."

— Amanda Woosley has lived in her home on Lower Mason Street since she was a child
It sits a quarter mile from the banks of the Kentucky River
She was 16 when the Flood of March 1997 pushed the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to some of their highest levels on record
devastating Carrollton and numerous other Kentucky communities
"They came down and told us that we needed to get out
but after weeks of cleaning and community support
Woosley's parents were able to salvage the home and move back in
"It took my mom and dad their life savings and help from the Red Cross — they were a big help," she said
they had tobacco warehouses that they emptied and let us put our items in there
and we stayed with my aunt and her husband
If you can, consider donating to help those who are affected by these most recent major floods here.
flooding in 2018 left Woosley's childhood home surrounded again by high water
"It made it to the floor joists of the house
We were lucky and were able to just clean up from that
but we still had to move everything out," she said
Her home has stood the test of time — and Mother Nature's might
But as floodwaters swallow it up for a third time
Woosley worries whether luck may have run its course
Watch here to see the impacts of flooding in Carroll County:
Lower Mason Street was one of six areas within Carroll County placed under mandatory evacuation orders over the weekend
days before the Kentucky River upstream crested Tuesday at a near-historic level around 54 feet
1997 was the last time the county issued mandatory evacuations
County officials initially anticipated flooding worse than that in 1997 due to a miscommunication with Frankfort about Dix's Dam. Carrollton Mayor Robb Adams said he was informed by Kentucky Emergency Management that 10 gates were opened accidentally
but Adams later clarified that Harrington Lake had gotten too high and the gates were opened as part of a planned release
"We have discovered at this point the impact from that release
has impacted us less than we thought yesterday," Adams said during a Monday press conference
but fortunately not the same impact they relayed to us
we should be grateful we didn't get that impact."
water levels rose several feet in parts of the county
condensation could be seen on the windows as spillover from the Kentucky River inundated her home
A parked car in the backyard was nearly submerged
only a few inches of it still visible above the water line
"I have a wedding dress that's in the top of the closet that we left because we didn't expect it to get that high
so we still have some things that are in the closet that are up and we have stuff on top of the kitchen counter and we did leave our kitchen table to put stuff on it as well," Woosley said
and floor joists and walls are going to have to be redone
There may be no coming back this time either
Woosley and her family are among those who heeded evacuation orders
They're taking refuge next door at Woosley's parents' house
which sits just before the barricade blocking off the stretch of Lower Mason Street now underwater
County officials said hundreds of people have taken shelter at General Butler State Park and Camp Kysoc
Two people were rescued from high water but were uninjured
Carroll County Emergency Management and EMS director
said 15 firefighters and four rescue boats manned by personnel from surrounding communities are on standby
North Carolina Task Force One is even lending a helping hand
That crew conducted damage assessments Tuesday at a waterlogged RV park in Worthville and in Prestonville
A long time before we're able to get back in
but there's some people who have completely lost their home
the Kentucky River was sitting at just above 52 feet
It is projected to stay in the major flood stage through Wednesday afternoon
Carroll County officials said they do not have specific requests for additional personnel or supplies
anyone wanting to donate items such as water
animal food and more must first call 502-523-2817 before delivering anything
All approved donations must be dropped off at the Carroll County Road Department at 607 Park Avenue in Carrollton
but we're lucky to be alive and still have our family and friends and all the people that came to help us," said Woosley
We live in a community — we have really good people
(The worst disasters) bring out the best in people
but there's more good in the world than bad
Today we continue WYSO’s City Mayor Series with West Carrollton Mayor Rick Barnhart
He described the city as “land-locked” but says there are several initiatives underway to develop available land for commercial
This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity
Rick Barnhart: I actually started with West Carrollton in 1982 as a police officer and then went up through the ranks and was the chief until 2013 when I retired
and in 2013 I got elected to be on city council
So I started with city council in 2014 and then got elected mayor last year
So I've been a mayor about just over a year
Jerry Kenney: Are those qualities and experience you gained as a police officer
have you carried those through with your your work on the commission and in the mayor's seat
knowing what's going on in the city and what people want from the city
You see the stuff that maybe needs to be fixed
and that carries on into being a councilman and the mayor
speaking of speaking of what residents want in a city
We did some social media outreach and had some comments about West Carrollton and a lot of what people had to say were across the board from city to city
And one thing that people are concerned about is development
People are worried about losing the aesthetics of their small towns
They're worried about overdevelopment and just kind of the overall look and feel and quality of life
So let me ask you how you approach that in West Carrollton
So it's going to be a great new look as you enter into West Carrollton from 75
Kenney: That kind of mixed-use quality is something that really appeals to residents within a city
It's good for our residents and it's good for the region
we look at bringing a lot of people from around our region into the city
and then it gives our citizens places to go
Kenney: And the question from one of your residents was 5 to 10 years
I imagine a lot of that is going to be taken up with the riverfront effort
The river district is a 5-to-10-year project
we're looking at putting in some high-end condos across from it
we are also working on our whitewater rafting
It's a unique water activity that will be unique to this area
So that one is also going to take five years or so to get it going
We're looking at $26 plus million dollars in investment into the dam
So we got to make the dam safer so that we can get this thing rolling
the county and federal dollars and city dollars
We just acquired some western lakes that we're working on that'll be farther down the road once we get these two projects going
And that'll be some more recreational purposes for our citizens in the region
Kenney: You mentioned earlier that West Carrollton has been landlocked
and so I'd like to know how you strike a balance of development with the esthetics and offering people parks and recreation and also building the foundations for a strong economic business community
we've always had great recreational places in West Carrollton
we've always had areas for our citizens to go and enjoy ourselves and for people to come in business-wise
We've always been a great industrial-based community
Now we've just transitioned over to different types of industry
So we're still continuing to grow from within
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: West Carrollton seeks to transform water treatment plant into adventure park, campground
but we look to have another great event season
Kenney: Any other projects that you're looking for in the next 5 to 10 years
we're also upgrading our water treatment plant in our wastewater treatment
We're getting those so that they will maintain
but they'll be able to handle all of our new infrastructure that we're bringing in so that we are up on all the new codes so we're good to go with the state also
Kenney: Another concern residents had was the increasing amount of rentals with large companies buying up residential properties and then turning them into rentals
Is that a problem that you've looked at here in West Carrollton
we've always had a lot of rentals in West Carrollton
probably 55% of our city is multifamily housing
But I understand they're talking about houses being bought up and that's happening all over the place
We have always had a rental inspection program that we put in many years ago so that they have to register them with the county
and they inspect to make sure they're up to code for these rental people when they come in
we understand residential for us is very important
we've basically been a bedroom community for a lot of years
but it is important to us that we maintain our residential districts and that people are comfortable and want to be here in our city
Kenney: Our final question from residents that we reached out to was about marijuana dispensaries
and they're curious as to why the city of West Carrollton chose to block dispensaries when it was approved statewide
It was voted on by the public and they determined that it should be here in Ohio and West Carrollton is not against dispensaries of any kind
We did put on a temporary moratorium just so that we can see how the guidelines are going to be sent down by the state
We don't want to approve something put it in a district where the state comes back later this year and says they can't be there
So we just want to let them hone what the regulations for these are going to be and then we will take a look at it again and see if it's economically feasible for the city and if it's safe for our city
Barnhart: Well, the school district is in process of building all new schools. So you're going to see our whole school environment change
every one of the schools here in the West Carrollton School District should be brand new
the state contributed a good amount of the money
and I think it's good for our citizens to see that our school district's flourishing and moving forward
The city of West Carrollton has big plans for a former water treatment plant at 4000 Hydraulic Road
The city is requesting $6 million in state grants to cap and fill the site and construct a campground and adventure park there
That’s according to its application to the Dayton Regional Priority Development and Advocacy Committee to be recommended for grant funding
The space will “support access to recreational opportunities for low to moderate income residents as well as community members throughout the Dayton region,” the application reads
Formerly the Appvion Wastewater Treatment Plant
The site was contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs from the 1960s to the early 2000s
West Carrollton refers to the project as “shovel-ready” in the application
Estimates for total project costs are over $10 million
$4.8 million have already been dedicated toward the site remediation through the Ohio Department of Development and city funds
The city will be ready to use the funds within the next six months
Five Rivers MetroParks and The Miami Conservancy District both wrote letters in support of the city receiving funding for the project
West Carrollton officials declined to comment until more details are available
