Prince George’s County Planning Board aims for Go Prince George’s to advance multimodal transportation by focusing more on how people get around instead of the flow of personal vehicles.
The plan applies the 2023 DPW&T Urban Street Design Standards mandated by the County Council which calls for right sizing dangerously wide roads; slower, saner operating speeds; and bicycle facilities. These street design standards will make Regional Transit Districts and Local Urban Centers safer, more walkable, and foster economic growth. We also commend the application of these standards for other applicable roadway segments.
However, the plan could be even better. The plan should show how, where, and in what order of priority these good policies are going to be implemented. We urge the County to address this for each of its policy statements, and to illustrate those priorities on eligible maps.
