This report is the culmination of more than a year-long study of the Route 1 Land Redevelopment area that spans the Route 1 corridor from Quimby Avenue to Sunnyside Avenue, adjacent to the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and surrounding neighborhoods in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The final recommendations in this report are based on a review of current and past plans for the area specifically the 2010 Approved Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment for Subregion 1, a look at existing conditions along the corridor, community input from multiple workshops, and ongoing involvement of residents, property owners and coordination with stakeholders and government officials. The strategies and recommendations are intended to guide development and strategic planning along the corridor that aligns with the community’s vision, with the overall objective that investment along Route 1 and nearby neighborhoods will create a safe transit-way with its own identity that serves the area’s diverse needs.

Berwyn Heights, a municipality in northwest Prince George’s County, Maryland, established a Quality-of-Life Commission in 2018 to address community concerns, particularly on pedestrian and bicyclist safety. This led to the creation of the Walkable Bikeable Berwyn Heights Task Force, which issued a report in February 2020 with specific recommendations. In fall 2021, the town sought funding from the Prince George’s County Planning Department’s Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Committees (PAMC) program to develop a Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Improvement Action Plan. Approved in May 2022, the project began in January 2023, aiming to enhance safety and accessibility through prioritized investments and a toolkit for additional safety treatments.

The Population, Housing, and Economic Survey is compiled and written by the Prince George’s County Planning Department and covers recent data on population, housing, social, and economic data for Prince George’s County, Maryland. It includes additional historical and comparative data with other localities of the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. The report offers raw data with accompanying tables, graphs, or charts to show changes or trends in the data and how they are reflected in the County, all drawn from reliable and authoritative data sources. The overall purpose of the survey is to provide a convenient, organized summary and reference document for the general public, M-NCPPC, and local governments and to provide information to assist in planning and policymaking that would affect Prince George’s County. The Prince George’s County Planning Department expects to produce regular updates of the survey.

Note About the 2023 Edition of the Population, Housing, and Economic Survey: New data in this report focus on the data releases from the U.S. Bureau of the Census’s American Community Survey (ACS) for 2021 estimates as well as data from some other federal agencies (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis. The ACS data reflect a 5-year sample survey (2017-2021) and is the latest ACS data available. We urge readers and those who use this report as a resource for research not to make direct comparisons to previous editions of the report when analyzing data about Prince George’s County to avoid errors or misinterpretations. In recent years, lower response rates to the survey, both locally and nationally, do not allow for statistically sound, annual analyses of data about the County or many other locations and jurisdictions. We accommodate this by providing and analyzing 2021 data in the proper context. For further information and explanation, please refer to the methodology section at the end of this report.

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Prince George’s County Planning Department, Community Planning Division has initiated a project through the Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities (PAMC) program to identify and design streetscape improvements along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) within the limits of the City of Seat Pleasant. In 2012, the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDOT-SHA) awarded a project to construct a road diet along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) from Eastern Avenue/Washington, D.C. Line to Hill Road under contract number PG6995176. The MDOT-SHA project reduced the number of through lanes from three to two in each direction from Addison Road (South) to west of Hill Road. Through the limits of the lane reduction, a seven-foot-median shoulder was established with pavement markings in each direction. The PAMC project seeks to repurpose the additional marked median space and utilize available right-of-way to better accommodate all modes of transportation. This report describes the goals, history, and recommendations for the MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) Streetscape Enhancement project. This project was funded through the PAMC program administered by the Prince George’s County Planning Department.
