The sector plan highlights these and other key opportunities and constraints. It presents redevelopment programs to guide future growth and revitalization at future transit nodes and within suburban strip shopping centers in six focus areas along Branch Avenue and the Allentown, Suitland, and St. Barnabas Road commercial corridors. Developed with extensive public participation, this document presents background information; plan goals; focus area visions and recommendations pertaining to land use, future zoning, development programs, and concepts; corridorwide recommendations for land use, community design, the environment, transportation, recreation and parks, schools, and historic preservation; and implementation strategies.
