Naylor Road

Overview


Naylor Road Station is where Branch Avenue (MD 5) meets Washington, D. C. and the Suitland Parkway. With so much traffic from the six-lane roadway heading up Naylor Road, either to the Metro station or Suitland Parkway, an opportunity exists to tame and transform the wide-open, suburban strip along Branch Avenue into a more urban place; a place where pedestrians and bicyclists are on an equal footing with cars. Though the scale of development may become more intense, the street scene can be more comfortable - designed more for walks between offices and lunch spots, and to and from the Metro station, than speeding traffic. 

On the east side of Branch Avenue and south of the parkway, a proposal for a major new office complex has been made on the site of an old shopping center. The State of Maryland has designated Naylor Road as a priority TOD site, and design work for streetscape and pedestrian improvements are on-going.
