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.
