A
transit line (light rail or busway) from the Branch
Avenue Metro Station to Waldorf is under consideration
by the Maryland Transit Authority (MTA). The MD
5 corridor extends through both the Developed
and the Developing Tiers designated in the General
Plan. To build on the recommendations for enhanced
transit service along the corridor, there is a need
to identify planning strategies to implement the
transit
alignment
and
station
locations
under consideration and to comprehensively examine
planning issues within the context of the corridor
policy recommendations in the General
Plan. A request for proposals was advertised. However,
the MTA Transit Service Staging Plan has been delayed.
Until such time as the MTA study is final, the MD
5 (Branch Avenue) Corridor Study is on hold. This
study will focus on planning issues and objectives
and proposed additional planning actions to be considered
in FY04 and beyond.
