Purpose and Need
-The project aims to construct a shared use path for both pedestrians and bicyclist that connects to two trails namely, the Existing Rhode Island Trolley Trail and the Anacostia Tributary Trail system.
-While the primary aim of this project is to improve the connectivity amongst the existing
trail systems it will also further enhance connectivity between neighboring towns.

Current Design
• Proposed:-
• Resurfacing on Charles Armentrout Dr. to increase separation between vehicular traffic and the existing Shared Use Path.
• Construct a Shared Use Path from Charles Armentrout to Farragut Street NB side.
• Construct ADA Compliant Sidewalk from 41st St. up until Braxton Pl.
• A road diet on US 1 is proposed to accommodate these improvements.

Traffic Analysis
• Road Diet Analysis
• Traffic analysis was completed by MDOT SHA.
• Traffic analysis numbers predict future traffic conditions with a road diet will be comparable to the existing traffic condition.
• Traffic signals will be optimized throughout the corridor to minimize exasperating vehicular traffic operations.

Current Status and Next Steps
• Design has reached 30% design completion.
• Additional Right of way (ROW) will be required for Storm Water Management.
• The extent of right of way need will be finalized after supplemental metes and bounds surveys are complete. Anticipated to be done by the end of October.
• Coordination with CSX transportation will be required to ensure smooth ROW transaction.
• Estimated construction date would be based on right of way.
Public Meeting and Outreach
• A mandatory referral in partnership with the city of Hyattsville and M-NCPPC(Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission) will be scheduled prior to the end of the year.
• A public meeting will be coordinated with City officials subsequent to the Mandatory referral.
