New Carrollton Metro is a Regional Transit District in Prince George’s County that is
experiencing rapid growth in transit-oriented development. Approximately 1,500 residential
units, over 1 million square feet of office space, and around 150,000 square feet of retail
are either planned, under construction, or recently built within a quarter mile of the New
Carrollton Metro Station. The station is also serviced by the Metrorail, Marc commuter train,
Amtrak, and local bus services, making it a hub for multimodal transit and a gateway to
economic centers in the region.

Despite the surge in transit-oriented development, the transit district and surrounding area
remain hard to navigate due to disconnected streets, the absence of bicycle facilities,
inhospitable pedestrian environments, and wide, auto-oriented roadways. The New Carrollton
Downtown Access and Connectivity Strategy aims to support the area’s transformation into
a walkable and connected downtown by advancing recommendations from previous studies
and offering new ideas for pedestrian and bicycle connections, crosswalk enhancements,
placemaking interventions, potential redevelopment, and street connections.

This document contains text and maps in support of three proposed amendments to the 1990 Approved Largo-Lottsford Master Plan, the 1993 Approved Landover and Vicinity Master Plan, and the Master Plan of Transportation. The three proposed amendments were recommendations of the MD 202 Corridor Study, which was completed in 1997 with the cooperation of citizen groups and developer representatives. The amendments specifically under consideration would include the following: (a) the conversion of the I-95/I-495/Arena Drive interchange to full-time operation; (b) the deletion of the planned MD 202/Lottsford Road interchange in favor of an at-grade intersection; and (c) the deletion of the planned I-95/I-495/Campus Way interchange in favor of retaining an overpass, with no access to the Capital Beltway, at this location. In response to the desire of citizen groups who participated in the effort, the Planning Board and the District Council have initiated a minor public facility amendment process to further study these changes. This document only addresses the three amendments under study; it does not make any recommendations concerning the zoning of property nor does it contain any recommendations concerning nontransportation planning issues. Consideration of these three proposed amendments will be the initial step toward implementing the recommendations of the MD 202 Corridor Study.

The Bi-County Transitway International Corridor Planning Study is a preliminary evaluation of the social, physical and economic development potential provided by the Bi-County Transitway (formerly Purple Line) in the International Corridor. The International Corridor is an area approximately one-half mile deep along University Boulevard (MD 193) from West Park Drive to the border with Montgomery County and Takoma Park. The planning study provides a demographic profile of the Corridor and summarizes a number of earlier studies and projects undertaken for this area. It provides an initial evaluation of the transit-oriented development (TOD) potential of three nodes and assesses the Corridor’s economic and physical characteristics opportunities and challenges. The study recommends the next planning actions that should be considered to advance General Plan goals for this area of Prince George’s County.

Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail Since 1975 the idea of a trail parallel to the Potomac River has been incorporated into various county trail plans and master plans. These local trail segments contribute to the idea of a continuous route between the Chesapeake Bay ‘and the Allegheny Highlands. Responding to such interest, a corridor for a Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail was designated by Congress in 1983 as an amendment to the National Trails System Act. A study of the concept in 1987 examined the feasibility of such a multiuse trail and explored potential routes in Prince George’s County, Maryland, between Piscataway Park and the District of Columbia. In 1999 a subcommittee of the Prince George’s County’s Bicycle and Trails Advisory Group (BTAG) began to explore further routes for both an on-road bicycling route and the potential for trail alignments away from traffic to serve the needs of walkers, joggers, equestrians, and cyclists.
