NUMBER OF PAGES: 42 The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Prince George's County Planning Department, Community Planning Division has initiated a project through the Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities (PAMC) program to identify and design streetscape improvements along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) within the limits of the City of Seat Pleasant. In 2012, the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDOT-SHA) awarded a project to construct a road diet along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) from Eastern Avenue/ Washington, D.C. Line to Hill Road under contract number PG6995176. The MDOT-SHA project reduced the number of through lanes from three to two in each direction from Addison Road (South) to west of Hill Road. Through the limits of the lane reduction, a seven-foot-median shoulder was established with pavement markings in each direction. The PAMC project seeks to repurpose the additional marked median space and utilize available right-of-way to better accommodate all modes of transportation. This report describes the goals, history, and recommendations for the MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) Streetscape Enhancement project. This project was funded through the PAMC program administered by the Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County Planning Department.

Officers

Our mission is to help preserve, protect and manage the County’s resources by providing the highest quality planning services and growth management guidance and by facilitating effective intergovernmental and citizen involvement through education and technical assistance.

Anju Bennett, Acting Executive Director Joseph Zimmerman, Secretary-Treasurer Adrian R. Gardner, General Counsel The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) is a bicounty agency, created by the General Assembly of Maryland in 1927. The Commission’s geographic authority extends to the great majority of Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties: the Maryland-Washington Regional District (M-NCPPC planning jurisdiction) comprises 1,001 square miles, while the Metropolitan District (parks) comprises 919 square miles, in the two counties.

Our vision is to be a model planning department of responsive and respected staff who provide superior planning and technical services and work cooperatively with decision makers, citizens, and other agencies to continuously improve development quality and the environment and act as a catalyst for positive change PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY PLANNING BOARD

The Commission has three major functions: • The preparation, adoption, and, from time to time, amendment or extension of the General Plan for the physical development of the Maryland-Washington Regional District. • The acquisition, development, operation, and maintenance of a public park system. • In Prince George’s County only, the operation of the entire county public recreation program.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING BOARD

The Commission operates in each county through a Planning Board appointed by and responsible to the County government. All local plans, recommendations on zoning amendments, administration of subdivision regulations, and general administration of parks are responsibilities of the Planning Boards.

The County Council has three main responsibilities in the planning process: (1) setting policy, (2) plan approval, and (3) plan implementation. Applicable policies are incorporated into area plans, functional plans, and the general plan. The Council, after holding a hearing on the plan adopted by the Planning Board, may approve the plan as adopted, approve the plan with amendments based on the public record, or disapprove the plan and return it to the Planning Board for revision. Implementation is primarily through adoption of the annual Capital Improvement Program, the annual Budget, the water and sewer plan, and adoption of zoning map amendments. COUNCIL MEMBERS

1. INTRODUCTION The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Prince George's County Planning Department, Community Planning Division has initiated a project through the PAMC program to identify and design streetscape improvements along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) within the limits of the City of Seat Pleasant. In 2012 the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDOT-SHA) awarded a project to construct a road diet along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) from Eastern Avenue/Washington, D.C. Line to Hill Road under contract number PG6995176. The MDOT-SHA project reduced the number of through lanes from three to two in each direction from Addison Road (South) to west of Hill Road. Through the limits of the lane reduction, a 7’ median shoulder was established with pavement markings in each direction. The PAMC project seeks to repurpose the additional marked median space and utilize available right-of-way to better accommodate all modes of transportation. This report describes the goals, history and recommendations for the MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) Streetscape Enhancement project. This project was funded through the PAMC program administered by the Prince George’s County Planning Department.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1. Project Goals The goals of the MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) Streetscape Enhancement project are to: 1. Enhance the streetscape to better accommodate and improve safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists within the available right-of-way. 2. Develop 30% preliminary design and engineering plans and estimate. The 30% Preliminary Design and Engineering Plans and Estimate would be used to make the project eligible for TAP or TIGER funding for final design and construction.

2.2. Project Team and Stakeholders All necessary project team members and stakeholders were identified at the initiation of the project and include: • • • • • • •

Elected officials, City of Seat Pleasant City of Seat Pleasant Staff City of Seat Pleasant Community M-NCPPC, Prince George’s County Planning Department Maryland State Highway Administration STV Incorporated The Department of Public Works & Transportation

tasks were completed. The project scope included a stakeholder meeting, held on November 27, 2018, and a community meeting, held on March 28, 2019. The meeting minutes for the stakeholder meeting and community meeting are included in Appendix A. Four alternatives were developed for discussion at the community meeting and refined to a recommended alternative which was presented at the community meeting.

2.4. Project Limits The project limits are within MDOT-SHA right-of-way along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) within the limits of the City of Seat Pleasant. MD 704 within the limits of Seat Pleasant are from Eastern Avenue/Washington, D.C. Line to approximately 325 feet west of Booker Drive, approximately 0.95 miles. For the purposes of this project, the eastern limits were extended to Booker Drive to ensure a proper roadway section transition at an intersection. The project limits are shown in Figure 1.

2.5. Roadway Classification MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) is an MDOT-SHA roadway classified as an Urban Minor Arterial. The design speed along MD 704 is 40 MPH and the posted speed limit is 30 MPH. According to the MDOT-SHA Internet Traffic Monitoring System (I-TMS) MD 704 had an Average Annual Daily Traffic of 19,905 in 2017. The master plan of transportation recommended roadway classification for MD 704 is Arterial, 120-150 ROW, with 4-6 lanes.

2.3. Scope and Work Plan STV Incorporated worked with the M-NCPPC Community Planning Division to develop and refine the scope, work plan, and schedule to complete the 30% Preliminary Design and Engineering Plans and Estimate. The work plan and schedule were revised as project

3. PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS In order to develop alternatives to meet the project goals within the project limits, several considerations were defined to provide guidance and identify constraints. The following project considerations were investigated prior to developing alternatives.

Figure 2: Overhead Utilities

3.1. Constraints 3.1.1. Right-of-Way The project scope defined the limits of the project to be within available right-of-way. Available right-of-way is defined as MDOTSHA-owned property for the MD 704 through highway. This right-ofway width varies throughout the project limits and constrains the consistency of the available improvements.

3.1.2. Utilities Overhead and underground utilities throughout the project, owned by third parties, were considered constraints. Overhead and underground utilities owned by third parties include but are not limited to electric, communications, water, sewer, and gas. The cost, coordination, and lead time necessary to relocate these utilities was considered a project limitation to be avoided in alternative development. Overhead utility poles on the north side of MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) between Eastern Avenue and 68th Street can be seen in Figure 2.

3.1.3. Major Structures

3.2. WB&A Trail Extension Feasibility Study

Several existing major structures were identified within the project limits as constraints that would require significant cost and have potential right-of-way impacts. Impacts to these structures were avoided in alternatives development. Major structures include retaining walls and culverts. The existing retaining wall on the north side of MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) between Cabin Branch Drive and Glen Willow Drive can be seen in Figure 3.

The findings from the June 2018 WB&A Trail Extension Feasibility Study prepared by the Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County Planning Department were considered in the development of alternatives. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of extending the WB&A trail to the Washington, D.C. line, which includes a segment through the MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) Streetscape Enhancements project limits. The recommendations of the study include installing a 10-foot-wide shared-use path with a 5-foot-wide buffer along the north side of MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) through Seat Pleasant.

3.3. 2010 Approved Subregion 4 Master Plan and Sectional Map Amendment and a Master Plan for the City of Seat Pleasant Recommendations from the 2010 Subregion 4 Master Plan, approved by the Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County Council, and a master plan prepared by the City of Seat Pleasant in 2018 were considered and incorporated into the alternative development. Recommendations in these plans are consistent with the project goals of increasing safety and enhancing the experience for pedestrians and bicyclists. Key strategies listed in the 2018 Master Plan for the City of Seat Pleasant include improving the streetscaping along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) and considering traffic calming features and onstreet parking.

3.4. MDOT-SHA Safety and Resurfacing Project (PG6995176) The 2012 MDOT-SHA MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) from Eastern Avenue/Washington, D.C. Line to Hill Road Roadway Safety and Resurfacing project, under contract PG6995176, provided additional space for streetscape enhancements as a starting point for this project. Contract PG6995176 reduced the number of through lanes from three to two in each direction from Addison Road (south) to west of Hill Road (outside of the Seat Pleasant City Limits) and left a seven-foot-wide shoulder in each direction, which can be repurposed in the future. The design CADD files from PG6995176 were obtained from MDOT-SHA. The design files included topographic survey, roadway geometrics, proposed drainage, rightof-way, ADA sidewalk and ramps, and pavement markings. The proposed CADD files were converted to existing conditions in lieu of performing a new topographic survey. Upon advancing this project to final design a new topographic survey must be conducted to confirm existing conditions.

4. ALTERNATIVES DEVELOPMENT Several alternatives were developed to meet the project goals and incorporate the project considerations. These alternatives were grouped into two categories, Curb-to-Curb and Right-of-Way to Right-of-Way. Descriptions of the three alternatives by category are listed below. The curb-to-curb alternatives limited the improvements to be within the existing curb lines on the north and south side of MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway). These alternatives would be low cost, quicker to implement, and limited to resurfacing with new pavement markings and channelization devices. Available space for roadside streetscape amenities for the curb-to-curb alternatives would be

Figure 4: Curb-to-Curb Alternative

limited to the existing sidewalk and right-of-way behind the curb. An example of a curb-to-curb alternative can be seen in Figure 4. The right-of-way to right-of-way alternative would extend the roadside limits of improvements beyond the curb lines to the rightof-way lines on the north and south sides of MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway). This alternative would have a higher cost and longer construction duration, but would include more enhancements to meet project goals. Additional space for roadside streetscape amenities would be created in the right-of-way to right-of-way alternative. An example of a right-of-way to right-of-way alternative can be seen in Figure 5. â&#x20AC;&#x192;

Figure 5: Right-of-Way to Right-of-Way Alternative

4.1. Buffered Bike Lanes This alternative proposes resurfacing MD 704 and restriping the pavement to eliminate the seven-foot-median shoulders and provide a variable (three-foot minimum) buffer between the existing Figure 6: Curb-to-Curb Buffered Bike Lane Alternative bike lanes and travel lanes. The buffered bike lane alternative typical section can be seen in Figure 6.

4.2. North Side Cycle Track The north side cycle track alternative would consider the WB&A Trail Extension Feasibility Study by proposing a two-way cycle track on the north side of MD 704. The extension of the trail would be provided by the cycle track, for bicycles, and the existing sidewalk for pedestrians. This alternative proposes resurfacing MD 704 and restriping the pavement to eliminate the seven-footmedian shoulders and provide a twoway cycle track with a variable buffer between the cycle track and the travel lanes. Parking, and a buffered bike lane, could also be provided through certain segments on the south side of MD 704. The north side cycle track alternative typical section can be seen in Figure 7.

Figure 7: Curb-to-Curb North Side Cycle Track Alternative

4.3. Buffered Bike Lanes with Parking This alternative would combine elements of the other two curb-to-curb alternatives to provide buffered bike lanes and Figure 8: Curb-to-Curb Buffered Bike Lanes with Parking Alternative parking throughout the project limits. The location of the parking and the size of the buffers for the bike lanes would vary by different segments of the roadway within the project limits. The parking could be proposed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;floatingâ&#x20AC;? between the travel lanes and the bike lanes to further protect bicyclists from vehicles and include buffers to minimize conflicts between bicyclists and doors. Parking could also be provided along the curb with a buffer between the cycle track and the travel lanes. The buffered bike lanes with parking alternative typical section can be seen in Figure 8.

4.4. Right-of-Way to Right-of-Way Improvements for a right-of-way to right-of-way option were combined Figure 9: North Side Shared Use Path with South Side Curb into one alternative. The North Side Shared Use Path with South Side Curb Extensions and Parking Recommended Alternative Extensions and Parking alternative would include resurfacing and relocation of the existing curb lines to provide streetscape enhancements. The roadway would be resurfaced to eliminate the seven-foot-median shoulders and shift travel lanes adjacent to the medians. The north and south curb lines would be relocated into the existing roadway to provide space for enhancements. The extension of the curb line on the north side would provide space for a 10-foot-wide shared use path and buffer consistent with the WB&A Trail Extension Feasibility Study recommendation. The extension of the curb on the south side would provide space for parking and streetscape amenities. The curb extensions would also shorten the length of the existing pedestrian crossings throughout the corridor. The North Side Shared Use Path with South Side Curb Extensions and Parking alternative typical section can be seen in Figure 9. â&#x20AC;&#x192;

5. RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE

5.1. Eastern Avenue to Addison Road (North)

The alternatives were presented at the stakeholders meeting on November 27, 2018 and the feedback was used to select a recommended alternative. The North Side Shared Use Path with South Side Curb Extensions and Parking alternative was selected and refined to present to the community. The recommended alternative was divided into the following four segments along the corridor with different characteristics:

The westernmost segment of the corridor from Eastern Avenue/ Washington, D.C. line to Addison Road (north) includes the least amount of available right-of-way behind the curbsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;three lanes in the eastbound direction and a limited median shoulder. The eastbound right lane extends from Eastern Avenue to Addison Road (south) where the lane must turn right. STV Incorporated performed a highlevel traffic analysis to determine if the eastbound right lane could be shortened to provide space for enhancements. A comparison of historical data indicates that traffic in this area has been increasing approximately 1 percent per year for the past seven years. It was assumed that the number of eastbound right turns at Addison Road (south) is approximately 383 during the PM peak hour (increasing from the 353 vehicles in 2011). Using the MDOT-SHA queuing formula, to estimate the required length of lane, results in a maximum queue length of approximately 479 feet. This would require that the length of the right turn lane extend from Addison Road (south) to 68th Street. Using this analysis, the eastbound right lane was removed from Eastern Avenue to 68th Street and replaced with curb extensions and parking. The recommended alternative from Eastern Avenue to Addison Road (north) can be seen in Figure 10. The proposed typical section from Eastern Avenue to 68th Street is in Figure 11 and the proposed typical section from 68th Street to Addison Road (north) can be found in Figure 12. The continuation of the plan view to Addison Road (south) can be seen in Figure 13.

5.4. Greig Street/Cabin Branch Drive to Booker Drive

The Greig Street/Cabin Branch Drive to Booker Drive segment continues the consistent typical section with enhancements on both sides of MD 704. A 10-foot-wide shared-use path with variable buffer is proposed on the north side of MD 704. The buffer width on the north side will be reduced and will limit the amount of space for streetscape amenities. The curb on the south side can be extended to provide protected parking, shortened pedestrian crossings, and space for streetscape amenities. The recommended alternative from Greig Street/Cabin Branch Drive to Booker Drive can be seen in in Figure 18 and the proposed typical section can be found in Figure 19.

6. STREETSCAPE AMENITIES

6.2. Microbioretention

Best practice streetscape amenities were researched with recommendations being presented at the community meeting on March 28, 2019. Amenities were selected that stayed consistent with the Seat Pleasant Smart City Initiative and 2018 Master Plan for the City of Seat Pleasant. The following streetscape amenities are proposed in the 30% design:

Urban development, in general, negatively impacts surrounding waterways by increasing runoff and pollution. Stormwater management facilities are designed to mitigate the effects of urbanization by treating polluted runoff and reducing peak discharge rates to surrounding waterways. Microbioretention planter boxes are a suitable practice along roadways to receive and treat polluted stormwater runoff. These facilities are designed to capture runoff as temporary pond water and filter pollutantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as suspended solids, heavy metals, sediments, and debrisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;through an engineered soil mixture that integrate physical, biological, and chemical treatment processes before runoff is released into adjacent storm drain systems that ultimately outfall to waterways. Microbioretention areas are typically planted with native plants and can be designed to blend in with the site as streetscape features. The proposed enhancements for the project may result in a reduction of impervious area, which may not require these additional stormwater management facilities. The project limits are within the Anacostia River Watershed. If microbioretention is installed, the excess treatment may go into the water bank for this watershed and may potentially be used for treatment of future developments. A microbioretention facility in Baltimore City can be seen in Figure 21.

6.1. Stamped Concrete Crosswalks The existing crosswalks throughout the project limits would be replaced with durable stamped concrete crosswalks. These enhanced crosswalks will have the appearance of brick with less maintenance requirements. The use of the stamped concrete crosswalks along MD 704 must be approved by MDOT-SHA. A stamped concrete crosswalk can be seen in Figure 20.

Figure 21: Microbioretention Facility

MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Hwy) Streetscape Enhancement 30% Design and Engineering Report |

6.3. Street Trees

6.4. Smart Lighting

Street Trees are proposed in the buffers and curb extension areas throughout the project limits. Trees will enhance the experience for all users throughout the corridor and provide visual separation between the roadway and the pedestrian/bicycle facilities. Proposed street trees and plantings must be selected so that their root system works with the available buffer space and may be incorporated into the bioretention facilities. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was executed on January 28, 2014 between MDOT-SHA and the City of Seat Pleasant in which MDOT-SHA accepted the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer to maintain the landscaped medians installed under MDOT-SHA project PG6995176. This MOU can be modified to include the street trees and microbioretention facilities proposed in this report. A street tree example can be seen in Figure 22.

Smart lighting is proposed throughout the project limits where available right-of-way permits. The smart lighting will be consistent with the Seat Pleasant Smart City Initiative. Smart lighting poles can include LED luminaires, wireless networks, smart controls, and other various sensors. This lighting can provide pedestrianlevel lighting to supplement the existing PEPCO-maintained leased lighting arms mounted to utility poles on the north side of MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway). The design and installation of pedestrian lighting along MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) is directed by the 2008 MDOT-SHA Pedestrian Lighting Policy. This policy establishes the funding, design, construction and maintenance standards for pedestrian level lighting by a local municipality along a MDOT-SHA roadway. If the proposed pedestrian lighting system meets defined criteria, MDOT-SHA will fund the designâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;100 percent of the construction of conduit and handholes and 50 percent of the construction of poles, foundations, wiring, luminaires, and controls. The local municipality will be responsible for the remaining construction funding, as well as maintenance and energy costs. If the local municipality elects to have the local utility company design and install the lighting system, the local municipality is responsible for the costs. The local municipality can execute an agreement with the local utility company to maintain the lighting as well.

6.5. Charging Stations

6.6. Smart Benches

Charging stations can be installed in areas near bus stops to provide pedestrians an opportunity to recharge smart devices. Charging station options can be seen in Figure 23. â&#x20AC;&#x192;

Smart benches are street furniture for seating that may also include wireless networks, information displays, and charging facilities. These smart benches can be located adjacent to the sidewalks and shared use paths and near bus stops. A smart bench option can be seen in Figure 24.

MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Hwy) Streetscape Enhancement 30% Design and Engineering Report |

6.7. Smart Waste Receptacles

6.8. Smart Bus Shelters

The City of Seat Pleasant has installed several smart waste receptacles at city facilities and parks. The same smart waste receptacle options that the city deploys can be proposed through the project limits. These receptacles include smart technology that compacts the waste and notifies city employees when receptacles are full. The smart waste receptacle option that the city uses can be seen in Figure 25.

There are 12 existing WMATA Metrobus bus stops along Md 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Highway) within the project limits. Several of these bus stops will be impacted by the proposed improvements and will require reconstruction. The reconstructed bus shelters can be upgraded with smart options including USB recharging stations, touchscreen monitors, and real-time bus arrival information. The reconstruction of the bus shelters will typically be performed by the local transit agency; therefore, the upgrade must be coordinated with WMATA.

7. 30% DESIGN AND ENGINEERING PLANS

8. PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE

Input from the community meeting was reviewed with the Community Planning Division and 30% Design and Engineering Plans were developed for the recommended alternative. The 30% Design and Engineering Plans were developed consistent with MDOT-SHA CADD and construction document standards. The design and engineering plans reflect the proposed paving, sidewalk, shared use path, pavement marking, drainage, landscape, and streetscape amenity improvements. The 30% Design and Engineering Plans assume no right-of-way acquisition or major underground or overhead utility relocation.

A preliminary construction cost estimate was developed based on the recommended alternative and 30% Design and Engineering Plans. The estimate was prepared consistent with MDOT-SHA category codes and guidelines. The estimated preliminary construction cost for the recommended alternative is $4,625,000. The detailed preliminary construction cost estimate is included in Appendix B. â&#x20AC;&#x192;

TO FACILITATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDED STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, CADD FILES FOR THE 30% DESIGN AND ENGINEERING PLANS IN THIS REPORT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CITY OF SEAT PLEASANT.

PURPOSE The purpose of this meeting was to solicit input on design concepts and implementation strategies and gain an understanding of the roles concerns, plans and funding opportunities from stakeholders for an enhanced streetscape along Martin Luther King. Jr. Boulevard (MD 704).

1. Project Goals and Scope Overview a. The goal for the project is to enhance the streetscape to better accommodate and improve safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists within the available Right-of-Way. b. Ultimate deliverables are 30% Design Plans and Cost Estimate as necessary for funding eligibility. c. M-NCPPC reiterated the importance and need for the 30% Design Plans and Cost Estimate to secure available funds for construction. d. The previously prepared Schedule will be updated to reflect the date of the Stakeholder Meeting. e. It was noted the Task 5 PowerPoint Presentation would include a final presentation to the Applicant (City of Seat Pleasant) summarizing the findings of the project. 2. Project Limits and Considerations a. It was noted that the project limits are along Martin Luther King. Jr. Boulevard (MD 704) between Eastern Avenue and Booker Drive (assumed City of Seat Pleasant town limits) within SHA right-of-way. b. Will Jolley noted that the existing Welcome Sign, located in the median just north of Glen Willow Drive, delineates the Town limits. c. Moving forward, the improvements will be designed to begin and end at the nearest intersection within the Town limits. d. Project constraints were noted including existing right-of-way, utilities, and major structures (i.e. bridges, culverts, retaining walls, etc.). e. Recommendations from the WB&A Trail Extension Feasibility Study were accounted for during the design alternative development. f. The City of Seat Pleasant Master Plan was considered during design alternative development. g. Alternatives from the previous SHA Project were considered during design alternative development. 3. Design Concept Alternatives a. Curb-to-Curb: Buffered Bike Lanes i. This alternative would utilize the existing pavement to re-stripe the roadway to include a 3 ft. buffer area between the travel lane and bike lane. 1. Buffer areas can include additional treatments such as Flex Posts, Concrete Barriers, Planter Boxes, etc. 2. Peter Campanides noted SHA does not have standard treatments to place in buffer areas, noting the areas are typically hatched with pavement markings. 2|Page

28 | MD 704 (Martin Luther King Jr. Hwy) Streetscape Enhancement 30% Design and Engineering Report

ii. This alternative was described as relatively easier to implement with less construction and lower cost. iii. Increases comfort level for bicyclists utilizing the bike lanes. 1. Fred Shaffer noted one of M-NCPPC Planning goals is to get more people using additional modes of transportation, such as bicycling, and the need to install facilities with more comfort for bicycle riders. b. Curb-to-Curb: Cycle Track i. This alternative would utilize the existing pavement to re-stripe the roadway to include an 8-10 ft. two-way cycle track with a variable width buffer along the north side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard within the project limits. 1. Peter Campanides noted that standard cycle track widths are 10 ft., but the minimum width is 8 ft. Also noted that the existing cycle track installed along Maryland Avenue in Baltimore City should be utilized as a reference if cycle track design was pursued. ii. Additionally, a 5 ft. bike lane and 7 ft. parking lane could be added along the south side where possible. 1. Seth Young asked SHA if a two-way cycle track was provided along the north side, would an additional bike lane be required along the south side? SHA to follow-up. iii. It was noted that the travel lanes were proposed to be reduced to 10 ft. SHA acknowledged and noted that minimum travel lanes along state roads are 11 ft. 1. Jeannelle Wallace asked if reduced lanes increase accidents. 2. SHA noted with reduce lanes accidents may increase; however reduced travel lanes do act as a traffic calming measure. SHA noted the agency is discussing internally pros and cons of reducing lanes to 10 ft. 3. STV to evaluate maintaining existing lane widths. iv. Wendy Irminger asked the City if there was an opportunity for the City to give up City owned land if additional right-of-way was needed. The City acknowledge the possibility, as the City has acquired many lots adjacent to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. v. Wendy Irminger noted the alley south of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between Eastern Avenue and Addison Street may be utilized as an alternative path to install the cycle track. City noted the alley is heavily used by vehicular traffic. vi. This alternative was described as relatively easier to implement with less construction and lower cost. vii. Increases comfort level for bicyclists and would add on-street parking in areas designated for future retail development. c. Curb-to Curb: Parking 3|Page

i. This alternative would utilize the existing pavement to re-stripe the roadway to include 5 ft. bike lanes, a 2 ft. buffer, and a 7 ft parking lane along both sides of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between 65th Avenue and Booker Drive. ii. This alternative was described as relatively easier to implement with less construction and lower cost. iii. Increases comfort level for bicyclists and would add on-street parking on both sides of the road in areas designated for future retail development. iv. Jeannelle Wallace noted added parking would be ideal, and that the City would most likely want additional on-street parking where possible. v. Wendy Irminger asked what the future land use was intended to be along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard? vi. City representatives noted Commercial land use on both sides adjacent to the roadway with parking behind the buildings. vii. Peter Campanides noted that the posted speed limit along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is 30 mph, which is compatible with onstreet parking. Also noted, 7 ft. parking lanes are more for residential areas and 8 ft. parking lanes are for commercial areas. viii. The alternative included the parking lanes between the travel lanes and the bike lanes with the buffer between the parking lane and the bike lane. If 11 foot lanes are necessary the parking lanes may be shifted to curbside. d. ROW-to-ROW: North Side Share Use Trail i. This concept included the preferred alternative recommended in the WB&A Trail Expansion Feasibility Study to construct a 10 ft. wide Shared Use Trail with a 5 ft. grass buffer along the north side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. ii. Portions of the existing medians would need to be removed from Eastern Avenue to 65th Place to increase roadway width in order to fit the preferred trail and buffer widths. The City noted the medians should be remain as much as possible. 4. Implementation a. STV noted that the ultimate deliverable for the project is 30% design plans and construction cost estimate which can be used to apply for grant funding. b. STV requested feedback/comments pertaining to stakeholder preferred alternatives in order to advance to 30% level. i. Wendy Irminger will coordinate with the City to obtain City feedback / preferences. ii. The City to discuss internally and provide feedback. iii. M-NCPPC will present alternatives and discuss with the City Council members at their next meeting scheduled for December 10, 2018. 4|Page

g. Streetscape Amenities 4. Questions a. After the presentation the floor was open to questions from the Community. The following questions and responses were discussed: i. What is wrong with Martin Luther King Jr. Highway today that necessitates this project? 1. Fred Shaffer responded that an important goal of the project is pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Improvements are required to help reduce pedestrian and bicyclist crashes in Prince George’s County. ii. What stormwater management improvements are proposed? 1. Seth Young responded that in addition to the necessary modifications to the existing drainage system to accommodate the curb extensions, the micro-bioretention facilities will provide additional storm water management and treatment above what is most likely required. There is potential for this additional treatment to be used for credit on future projects which may encourage development. iii. Where is the funding for this project coming from? 1. Fred Shaffer responded that the funds may come from various sources including Federal and State grants. These grants will most likely require a small percentage of local funding from the City. 5. Working Groups a. The Community and Team Members moved to the following four separate stations with roll plots, typical sections, comment pads and streetscape amenity photos: i. Eastern Avenue to Addison Road North ii. Addison Road North to 65th Avenue iii. 65th Avenue to Greig Street/Cabin Branch Drive iv. Greig Street/Cabin Branch Drive to Booker Drive b. The following comments are noted from the Working Groups: i. Would like to see bus shelters lighted and covered. ii. Please address concerns about security, cameras, abuse 1. Seat Pleasant Police role 2. Prince George’s County Police role iii. Can charging benches be solar powered? iv. Park & Planning is not taking care of their property at 829 Carrington Avenue (Eunice Barner) v. Add blinking light stop signs vi. Alternate parking and travel lanes with rush hour traffic. vii.
